ARIZONA HEALTH CARE CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. A Human Services Management Corporation
As an individual interested in employment with Arizona Health Care Contract Management Services, Inc. (AHCCMS), you should know that we are a private, for-profit agency that provides behavioral health services to adults who are seriously mentally ill or have developmental disabilities. Throughout its history, AHCCMS has demonstrated an ability to develop and operate unique and innovative programs designed to serve the hard to place individuals with multiple problems and/or disabilities; its mission is to provide those programs in an ethical, conscientious, and cost-efficient manner. AHCCMS supports adherence to the principles of normalization; is committed to promoting the integrity, self-reliance and well-being of each client; and works to ensure the protection of the clients’ rights while treating them with respect, dignity and compassion.
Employment with AHCCMS is “at will” which means that either you or AHCCMS may terminate the employment relationship with or without reason at any time. An employee’s job responsibilities, and any written job description, may also be changed at any time. As an employee, you are expected to be prepared to work the days and shifts assigned by your supervisor. The conditions of employment are subject to the laws and policies of federal, state and regulatory agencies, as well as to the standards set by this Company.
On the first day of New Employee Orientation, you will be asked to provide:
1. Proper identification to prove your ability to meet the age requirements specified by the State Regulatory Agencies (mm. 21 years of age for Department of Economic Security programs, and for Office of Behavioral Health Licensure programs).
2. Proof of your ability to work legally in the United States (Social Security card, Passport, Certificate of Naturalization, Alien Registration card, etc.).
3. Proof of Education: mm. G.E.D. (Graduate Equivalency Diploma).
4. A current, valid State of Arizona Driver’s License and a current (39 month) Motor Vehicle Report for individuals hired in a position with client care responsibilities.
In addition, your completed employment application should indicate your ability to meet the requirements of the posted job description. If you are unable to provide verification that you meet these requirements, you may not accept a position with AHCCMS.
The following items may also affect your employment:
Automobile Insurance: Because of contractual regulatory obligations, staff working in AHCCMS programs which do not have a company vehicle on site may be required to use their personal automobiles to conduct company business. Employees using their personal vehicle must carry a minimum of $15,000 per person/$30,000 per occurrence for Bodily Injury Liability and $10,000 per occurrence for Property Damage Liability. In addition, AHCCMS must be named on your Certificate of Insurance. If your position requires use of your personal vehicle, you must provide a Certificate of Insurance issued to AHCCMS within two weeks of your date of hire and/or before you use your personal vehicle for company business.
AHCCMS provides reimbursement for travel related to official company business. Personal vehicles must be in safe working order and have operable seat belts, adequate air conditioning and heating.
Background Investigations and Fingerprinting: AHCCMS is mandated by licensing regulations to conduct background investigations and to submit the fingerprints of all individuals who work in a DD Program. Previous employment will be verified and character references are required. An inability or refusal to provide references/employment history provides a basis for declining or terminating employment of any individual. In order to insure the safety of our clients, fellow staff and visitors, AHCCMS also completes complete background investigations (which may include fingerprinting) for all potential employees for non DD Programs, provided the potential employee has properly authorized the background check/criminal records check.
Eligibility for Benefits: All full-time employees are eligible for medical, dental and life insurance benefits the first of the month following 90 days of employment. Employees share in the cost of these benefits at a rate dependant upon the plan selected. Available benefit packages are reviewed during orientation.
Physical Examinations and TB Screens: Potential employees who have been conditionally hired to work
directly with clients on a regular basis must undergo a medical examination or provide documentation of an examination completed prior to employment beginning to verify that the potential employee if free of any and all disease that would pose a significant health and safety risk and that cannot be eliminated or reduced by reasonable accommodations. TB screens must be performed annually. AHCCMS provides for these examinations through Concentra Medical Centers at no cost to the employee/potential employee unless the employee fails to follow through on instructions provided by the examiners.
I have read and understand the responsibility of employment as indicated above.
