Below are the answers to some frequently asked questions
A Domestic Referral Agency (DRA) is often referred to as an Employment placement Agency. Our type of Employment Agency operated under the Employment agency act and California Civil code 1812.5000 – 1812.5095
When a client requests their own interview with a referred caregiver through our Agency, they do so with the understanding that the caregiver is not the agencies employee, that they are independent caregivers working under contract through the Agency, as such they the client will pay a 3rd party payment company who is responsible for billing and payment service.
Each Caregiver sets their own rates dependent on the type of work needed, the hours worked and other variables. The Agency adds a small fee to cover the 3rd party payroll processing and our fees. Negotiations for the caregiver’s payments are settled between the client and caregiver. The Caregiver reserves the rights to renegotiate their rates at any time
As part of our screening process we require that each professional has at least 2 years of verifiable experience within the field of their choice or are licensed as a CNA or HHA. We run comprehensive background checks and check their personal and professional references. Only then do we set up in person where we check that each person had a current TB clearance, CPR certificate, a DMV report with clean history and their proof of their ability to legally work in the United States . Those who pass all of these steps will then be sent for a drug test and we will verify that they are registered with either Trustline or Home care aid registry (both are programs run by the State of California for the protection of Children and Elderly)
A Domestic referral Agency (DRA) is a comprehensive and hands on service that connects families with Caregivers of all sorts. DRA’s provide ongoing support to both parties to ensure a successful and long- lasting relationship. This may include payroll, tax reporting, check ins, evaluations and mediation in the case of any conflicts that may arise.
