Orientation
Each employee is given a general orientation to Intrastaff that includes information such as dress code, payroll policy, performance reviews, job description, etc. The employee is provided a copy all general Intrastaff information in writing.
Orientation requirements for assignments are specific to the area assigned. Please discuss the specific orientation requirements with the Intrastaff Staffing Associate prior to your assignment
Scheduling
Intrastaff is responsible for all staffing assignments made to our clients.
- If an employee must cancel or switch a shift, it is the responsibility of the employee to communicate to Intrastaff the changes in the schedule.
- If a supervisor asks an employee to work additional hours and switch a shift it is the responsibility of the Intrastaff employee to notify Intrastaff of the switch or additional hours worked.
- Intrastaff requests that employees do not negotiate their own placements.
