Agency Decision Summary |
The petition was considered by the board at the regular meeting held on Wednesday, October 9, 2019, at Western State Hospital in Staunton, Virginia. After reviewing all of the information received, the board declined to pursue the suggestions on the matter for the following reasons: 1. DBHDS does not enforce compliance with the Virginia Unemployment Compensation Act, other state employment law, or federal tax law. 2. The Office of Regulatory Affairs conducted substantial research related to the use of contract employees (for the response to periodic review draft) and as a result, draft regulations propose amendments (during the planned response to periodic review ‘overhaul’ of the regulations) to account for the misuse of contract employees in licensed services. |
