Working with a small, growing company is an amazing opportunity for any employer. There are many jobs to be filled along with new ones being created to help with the fast expansion. With these new changes and new employees being hired, there are at times high demand in need of employees to help run a successful clinic. With these demands employees are being burnt out, getting sick, no longer having the love for the job, and then deciding to leave the company with and a lot of times without notice.

Working with other coworkers at other clinics, the front and mid office are unsatisfied with how our careers and lives are being affected with these changes. The company states that they like to hear our concerns but feel like when an employee tries to voice their concern but only gets a quick corporate response. All we ask is to hear our concerns and try to work with us. If not, some may leave, and due to these few items mentioned below will show some of the reasons for some being understaffed.

• PTO Accrual/ Sick Days/Holidays
  • PTO math doesn’t add up with what’s promised
  • No sick/mental health days
    • Would have to use PTO
    • MO has most exposure of illness from pts
  • Took 2 paid holidays away from us and never replaced
• Semi-Monthly Pay
  • Young employees who rent are always late
  • Wait up to almost a week on same pay periods to get paid after new pay period starts
• Schedule Changes
  • Moved constantly
    • Unable to leave food and be prepared with meals
    • Interferes with plans that have been made before schedule changes
  • Last minute changes
    • Need to check paylocity nightly and before shift starts
  • Clocking in/out to switch locations
    • Illegal
