All employees of The Arc of Spokane will be required to comply with the vaccination, testing, and face covering requirements as outlined in the policy below as a condition of employment.
Update Feb 2, 2022:
The Arc policy on COVID-19 Vaccination, Testing, & Face Coverings will stay in effect, but we will not be enforcing the mandatory testing components of the policy. This means employees who have an exemption or are not vaccinated will not have to provide weekly tests. While the Supreme Court made their decision and OSHA and the Biden administration have rescinded their enforcement of the Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS), it is unknown at this time what other Federal, State, and funding authorities will do. For example, the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) have been approved by the Supreme Court to uphold this mandate for healthcare workers. The other components of this policy remain in effect as well as the Governor’s mask mandate that was issued August 2021.
Benefits are an important part of the compensation package offered by The Arc of Spokane, and we are committed to providing the best benefits possible to our employees, including:
—Medical & Dental
—Life Insurance
—Paid Vacation
—Sick, Safe & Bereavement Leave
—Paid Job Training
