Protecting your self when firing someone

Unemployment claims can be so frustrating. When I first started my agency I had caregivers quit or get fired pretty often. I soon realized that I had to protect myself from caregivers that were professionals at cheating the system. I highly recommend that you keep track of all documentation such as emails, written warnings, voicemails, all signed polices . The unemployment claims dept will request these items in cases when you are disputing a claim from a previous employee. If you lose a unemployment claim it comes out of your reserves which comes from your payroll taxes that you pay. You want to keep a nice healthy balance in that account.

Hello my name is Lesley Strong-Belcher!! I am so excited for you to take my course. I want to share a little of my professional background with you. I have been a licensed realtor for over 21yrs. I have owned and ran many different businesses throughout the last 20 years. I built my home care agency from the ground up. No loans, no handouts. Just grind, blood sweat and tears. My reason (why) for starting my agency was inspired by my fathers death. He died of colon cancer in 2013 at the young age of 57, he was my best friend. I saw what it felt like to care for a sick loved one and witnessed the pressure it caused on my family. So I wanted to develop an agency that had integrity and one that really cared. Our tagline is" caring is what we do for a living" and we really mean that. I wanted an agency that really cared about people being able to live in their homes as long as possible. I have also been coaching and teaching now for close to 15 years. I love to teach and challenge my students to be the best entrepreneur's they can be. My philosophy is that you never stop learning!
