7 Day Orientation
 

The requirement that orientation training to be completed within seven days of employment is impractical for part-time staff.

8VAC20-781-140 B “The orientation training must be completed by such staff prior to working alone with a child and within seven days of the staff member’s date of  employment”. This is not a new requirement but it is a burden. Part-time and substitute staff need more time. We think giving individuals six weeks like North Carolina does or a month would be very helpful.
