Orientation (De-escalation & Restraint Prevention) Sample Clauses

Orientation (De-escalation & Restraint Prevention). Xxxxxxxx Programs will maintain the commitment to certifying new staff in De-escalation & Restraint Prevention and performance before being counted in the ratio. All new staff must pass the twelve (12) hour de-escalation training, attend restraint training, and shadow a full- time employee(s) for a minimum of four (4) hours. While shadowing, new employees will be orientated to safety related materials such as Individual Crisis Management Plans (ICMPs), distress tolerance plans, and safety equipment. In an employee’s first year, this orientation training may be considered part of the 24 hours of ongoing annual training, but all ongoing trainings will be offered/available to these employees even if they have already reached 24 hours of training for the year. In order to support this commitment, the Agency will offer additional compensation to selected Family Support Counselors to provide some portion (the non-physical) of the required training as needed to teach this selected content. For specific teaching assignments, campus management will solicit applications from among those trained and select individuals to undertake the training of staff as needed. These trainings are campus specific. Family Support Counselors will be compensated for this work at $3.00/hour over their current hourly wage for time spent training. If training duty requires more than 40 hours in a week, the training staff will receive $3.00/hour in addition to their overtime pay. However, Management will work with the trainers to minimize the need for use of overtime. The compensation for being trained to become trainers is straight wages (or overtime if needed). The trainings will be scheduled as needed. Content related specifically to physical technique and physical safety must be certified by an employee with management responsibilities.
