LIABILITY – The determination in designating this Respite Caregiver is my sole responsibility, based on my personal knowledge of, and relationship with, this person and I waive any and all claims and/or actions against Channel Islands Social Services (CISS) for my decision. I understand that if CISS finds this Caregiver to not be eligible for employment in the United States, or according to agency policies, that CISS may choose to not employ this person and that such findings are highly confidential and may not be shared with me. *

• I understand

JOINT EMPLOYER / ONSITE SUPERVISOR – As the parent or primary caregiver, I understand that I am considered the joint employer and onsite supervisor in my home of this person. CISS is the employer of record responsible for all final hiring decisions, background screening, payroll, worker’s compensation claims, and final termination decisions. I understand that it is my responsibility to schedule my respite hours up to my authorized amounts and keep careful track of all hours. I agree to pay the caregiver directly for all hours they work and miles they drive that exceed my authorization as that is considered private pay work. Should I have any concerns in the future regarding this employee, I will contact CISS immediately. *

• I understand

JOB DUTIES – I have received a copy of the Respite Caregiver job description and I attest that this person meets or exceeds the stated minimum requirements for the position. I agree to only ask the caregiver to supervise my authorized child(ren) and privately compensate them for additional siblings that they agree to supervise at the same time as my authorized child(ren). At no time will I request that this caregiver perform duties outside of the job description, which includes housework and cleaning that is not directly related to respite care. I understand that all CISS employees must work regularly, at least two hours/month, to remain actively employed. *

• I understand

Please review the Respite Caregiver job description then return to complete the rest of this form. https://www.islandsocialservices.org/respite-caregiver-jd/

All CISS employees who transport individuals in their care must have an approved Travel Authorization form on file, be at least 21 years old, and be on the CISS approved driver’s list with proof of the company’s minimum insurance requirements, and clean driving record. *

• I understand

AGREEMENT – Unless revoked, this waiver will remain in effect during my family’s service authorization for Respite Services provided by Channel Islands Social Services.
