Frequently Asked Questions

We provide the completed offer letter and include driving directions from the employee’s home to the charity. The employer will distribute the forms both by certified and regular mail to the employee to ensure receipt of the employment offer.

We collect weekly timesheets that are tracked by the charity supervisor. The timesheets are signed by both the employee and the charity representative.

We ask that the employee always follows company protocol when calling off from work. The employer will be notified if the employee is not showing up for a shift. The timesheets will reflect if the employee called off sick, had a physician appointment or if they were a no call no show. We will call the charity weekly for updates and pass along to all involved parties.

Transitional Works Solutions strives to provide a safe work environment. Our charities are always aware that at no time is an employee allowed to drive a motorized vehicle and work with hand tools, children or animals. No employee is allowed to handle cash or have access to personal information.

Injuries that may occur at a charity location are handled no differently than if the injury happened at the employer’s worksite. We would conduct a full investigation with documentation in conjunction with the claims examiner. Our statistics show injuries in this program are less than .05 %.

The employer is asked to handle PTO time no differently than if the employee is onsite performing light duty. The employee will be held accountable to all the employer’s HR policies and procedures.
