Ridiculous Time Off Restrictions - Chiropractor Airrosti Employee Review

Thank you for this feedback. We understand how frustrating inclement weather situations can be and appreciate you sharing your thoughts around how we can navigate these situations differently in the future. Just to be sure, we want you to know there is no requirement to take a weather day unpaid as you stated in the review. Each region should have clearly communicated to our treatment teams that team members could choose to use paid time off to supplement any lost income. If that was not the case in your region, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your VPRD. Additionally, since the weather only impacted clinic operations for no more than 10 working hours (and in most cases 4-8), our operations teams encouraged ACPs to consider adjusting schedules later in the week or at alternate hours should they want to make up for lost clinic time and not record any UPTO or PTO. We understand each ACP’s desires and needs are different and sought to provide as much flexibility as possible while not mandating a blanket shutdown across any region (since some providers chose to practice in spite of the bad weather). We understand these decisions might seem contradictory to how the 2021 freeze was handled, so wanted to provide additional context for the decisions made during that time. The reason additional accommodations were considered (like paid weather days) were due to the sheer duration of the freeze AND the operational setbacks which occurred (lost power, frozen pipes, etc.). When our clinics themselves are unsuitable for providing safe and effective patient care, we will absolutely consider more extreme measures to compensate our ACPs for missed treatment time. As you can imagine, the Airrosti leadership team does not make these decisions lightly and works tirelessly to ensure we are allowing our employees to do what feels safe for them, while also allowing treatment teams to continue practicing if they so choose. Nonetheless, we always appreciate feedback on how we can improve the execution of these policies for our team members and will ensure your comments are considered when reviewing the policies in the future.
