PCA Choice Staff - in accordance with Union Contract

 

 *The PCA Choice contract provides time and a half days for hours worked on: New Year's  Day, Martin Luther King Jr Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving.  Staff may work those days in accordance with their regular schedule, and not work more than what is typical on any other week.  
The reason is, time and a half FAR exceeds what pca providers are paid per hour.  Many PCA Choice agencies do not allow staff to work on time and a half days without prior authorization because they are losing so much money on those days...

For more information see Cherish policy on wages and conditions of employment

 

Effective Jan. 1, 2024, Employee Sick and Safe Time (ESST) will begin to accrue at the rate of one hour per 30 hours worked.  You may use time that you have accrued if you are sick, it is not Paid Time Off and it is not paid out when you leave Cherish. Your accrual caps at 48 hours. PCA Choice employees are not covered under this program because the Union Contract covers ESST requirements.  Sick and safe time is paid leave employers must provide to employees in Minnesota that can be used for certain reasons, including when an employee is sick, to care for a sick family member or to seek assistance if an employee or their family member has experienced domestic abuse.  https://www.dli.mn.gov/sick-leave
