Employee Time Records
It’s the responsibility of all OMH employees to keep track of their time record. Employees must use their employee badge to clock-in and clock-out of each work shift. If an employee forgets their badge they must fill-out a time correction slip, which is located next to the human resources time clock, and give it to your immediate supervisor. Employees are asked to review their time records to check for any inaccuracies, which must be reported to your supervisor immediately. If your paycheck amount is wrong, contact your immediate supervisor and the accounting department as soon as possible, so a new check can be issued to you. Also, if an employee is pulled to another work area within the hospital, they must change the department entry on the time clock.

PTO/ESL
Requests for PTO/ESL time need to be presented on a Time Correction Sheet to your immediate supervisor.

HIPAA
Health Information Portability and Accountability Act is the federal law stating that all patients’ medical information must be kept confidential and can’t be disclosed to anyone without the patient’s permission.
The only exceptions to HIPAA are:

• If the patient gives permission for their health care information to be reviewed by specific individuals.
• If a patient is incapacitated and can’t give consent for disclosure of medical information to family members or anyone directly involved with their care.
• If the patient is either the victim of a crime or involved in a crime then the incident has to be reported to law enforcement immediately, and all patient information must be reported to law enforcement.

Reporting Abuse
It’s the responsibility of all OMH employees to report any signs of abuse of a patient to their supervisor immediately. Failure of an employee to report patient abuse could result in their dismissal from the hospital.
