SARA caregivers know that part of their job is to make sure that all their medical and other forms are submitted to the HR/Compliance Department when they apply for a position with SARA.
Below you will find links to the forms you need to fill out. Many of these forms need to be updated on the anniversary of your first date of being a SARA employee.
- Annual Health Assessment
- Annual Tuberculosis Questionnaire
- Declination of Influenza Vaccination
- Work Location Preferences
- Conditions of Employment/Dismissal and Termination of Employment
- Health Benefit Acknowledgement
- Form 8
- Form 9
- Form 10
- Form 11
- Form 12
Important Information
- Caregivers should be aware of the rules issued by New York State’s Department of Health and the Department of Labor which require Licensed HomeCare Services agencies such as SARA to have on-premises copies of the latest documents.
- Failure to fill in these forms each year could result in temporary “holds” when you will not be able to work on a case for SARA and may not even be able to return to a case where you enjoy being with the client.
- Unfortunately, “holds” hurt you, since you won’t be making income from SARA.
- Tardiness in completing updated forms is also put on your record and may come up during evaluations for promotions and raises.
- Once all required forms are filled in, your duties as a SARA should probably resume.
- If you work at another licensed home care agency, they will require similar or the same forms. This is standard operating practice in New York State.
- If you do not understand a form or need assistance with filling in the information, our HR Compliance team is here Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to help. If you prefer to come into the office to fill in the forms, that is fine.
- If you do not have access to an up-to-date computer, tablet, or smartphone, you can borrow one from a friend or come into SARA in Valley Stream and use one of our computers in the office. Just let the SARA receptionist or someone in HR Compliance know in advance, especially if you need assistance with technology. They will be able to find a computer for you to use at SARA.
- The SARA team is here to assist you succeed at our licensed home care agency.
