Acknowledgement for the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), also known as the Federal Wage and Hour Law, regulates minimum wage, overtime, equal pay, recordkeeping, and child labor for employees of enterprises engaged in interstate or foreign commerce and employees of state and local governments. The FLSA applies in all states, but states are permitted to develop their own laws and regulations to provide even greater protection for their workers than is provided under federal law. In cases in which the two laws conflict, the law most beneficial to the employee prevails. Therefore, it is essential that employers understand both the state and federal laws. For more information on the Fair Labor Standards Act and how it applies to daycare centers and preschools, read the documents located at the following links listed below:

• 17a Exemption for Executive and Administrative: Fair Labor Standards Acthttp://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/fairpay/fs17a_overview.pdf

• Daycare Centers and Preschools Under FLSA http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs46.htm• The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

http://www.dol.gov/compliance/laws/comp-flsa.htm

These links and information can also be found on the New Mexico Kids Website at www.NewMexicoKids.org under Resources for Caregivers and Educators.

I acknowledge that I have read and understand the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) and its implications for

UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

TLC Development Centers promotes and requires the use of the Universal Precautions for the protections of our staff and children against the spread of blood borne pathogens.

Universal Precautions is the preventative process of the self-protection by treating all visible blood and body fluids as if they were contaminated. The process for handling visible blood or body fluids is as follows:

1. Hands and arms must always be washed after contact with blood or body fluid (even whengloves are used).

2. Latex or vinyl gloves are to be worn if a person anticipates any possible contact with bloodor body fluids.

3. If needed, safety goggles are to be used to prevent blood from contacting eyes.4. Latex or vinyl gloves will be used when changing diapers.

I understand and am aware that TLC Development Centers requires the use of Universal Precautions for the safety of the employees as well as the children. I agree to use the Universal Precautions when necessary.

Discipline and Termination

The following are examples of conduct that is not permitted and can subject employees to immediate dismissal upon completion of an investigation that confirms the employee engaged in the conduct. Engaging in any of the following types of conduct is considered such a serious breach of responsibility to TLC Development Centers that no prior warning is required for involuntary separation:

1 Leaving a child unattended 2 Negligence or carelessness in caring for children 3 Inappropriate discipline of a child; including isolation, verbal abuse, spanking, pulling hair, or any other

rough or inappropriate handling or inappropriate use of restraints. 4 Possession, sale, or use of alcohol or illegal drugs while on TLC Development Centers property or reporting

to work while under the influence of intoxicating beverages or illegal drugs. 5 Theft, attempted theft, or removal from the premises without proper authorization of TLC Development

Centers property, or property of a customer or another employee. 6 Acting dishonestly or unfairly by violating policies and procedures or compromising yourself or TLC

Development Centers by making decisions that will cause others to question your honesty or integrity. 7 Fighting with or attempting to fight with or to cause bodily harm to another employee or customer. 8 Harassing, name calling, gossiping, or generally creating an unpleasant environment for other employees. 9 Possession of a weapon on TLC Development Centers property. 10 Any act that endangers children 11 Allowing personal visitors in the vicinity of the children entrusted to your care.

A complete Employee Discipline Policy is in your employee handbook.

Guidance & Discipline The program’s goals are to promote independence, autonomy, self-esteem, and caring toward others and the physical environment.

We prefer to use the ‘time-in’ approach to discipline. This is re-directing the child’s inappropriate behavior toward an acceptable form. For example, if the child is throwing blocks, we would show them a ball, and an appropriate manner and place for throwing it.

When ‘time-in’ is ineffective, we use ‘time-out’ – a quiet, relaxed, neutral break; a cooling off period for the child to regain self-control. Time-out is only used when a child is losing control and refuses redirection. For example: acting aggressively, throwing a tantrum, complete defiance.

No one is allowed to spank, hit, bite, shake, yell at, grab, threaten, ridicule, lift or pull by arms/legs or cause any physical or emotional harm to any child while on the Center property. This includes staff, other children, and parents. Children cannot be deprived of any service- transportation, field trips, food, etc.

The following methods should be used on a daily basis:

For Infants and Toddlers:

1. Meet babies’ needs for love and care and build a trusting relationship.

2. Prepare the play space thoughtfully and make child proof.

3. Accept children’s feelings, and provide outlets for them. Example: talking about their feelings, using thequite space for them to relax and breathe - then rejoin the group when ready.

13

4. Refocus toddlers’ attention before inappropriate behavior occurs.

5. State directions clearly and simply.

6. Be clam and consistent.

7. Allow children time to adjust to transitions.

For preschool children:

All of the above PLUS:

1. Arrange classrooms that are comfortable, interesting and encourage children’s self-direction.

2. Help children to express their emotions verbally, and through the art of play.

3. Allow children to resolve their own conflicts when possible.

4. Model and teach children strategies for solving interpersonal conflicts – such as negotiation, compromise,empathy.

5. Help children learn to anticipate logical consequences of their behaviors.

6. Involve children in cooperative projects.

7. Assist children in setting clear, consistent, fair limits for behavior in the classroom.

For School age children:

All of the above PLUS:

1. Involve school age children in planning activities.

2. Involve school age children in setting their own guidelines.

3. Allow school age children to suggest consequences when rules are ‘broken’.

It is not acceptable for adults to administer negative discipline:

1. Inflicting physical pain – suspected child abuse will be reported to the child protection agency;2. Name-calling, shouting, threatening, ridiculing, etc;3. Depriving a child of any service – field trips, food, daily attendance;4. Isolation;5. Sending a child to the office;6. Imposing cumulative or delayed consequences.
