Vital Medical Staffing Rebuttal

Jurney's of Statesville Rebuttal

May 24, 2019

f

r

I was going to work for them (Jurney's) for a month and I don't know how they can say I am not

their employee. I was at The Crossing at Steele Creek and I did good work before Jurney's. I

been doing this for 20 years. There was another incident with someone from another staffing

agency when I was at Steele Creek. An unknown girl from Favorite staffing came to work with

an attitude. The next day the girl from the Favorite staffing agency called vital staffing and

reported me and Candy Robinson, another PCA. Candy went down and talked to the supervisor

at Crossing and the supervisor said Vital called them about incident. The employees of the

facilities be upset because the staff workers get $8/hr. but staffing agency people get

$14-15/hr. Vital said I was getting burned out and moved me to Journey's. I didn't ask to move

over there and they didn't give me a reason as to why they were sending me there.

I was

working for 40 hours at Steele Creek. I took the job at Jurney's because I was buying a house.

Vital knew I was going to school to start my own agency. I feel insulted about their attack on

my credibility.

How many times did you work at Jurney's?

I can print all the places I worked.

Did you work only 4 days at Jurney's that month?

I worked more than that. I was there for 3 weeks. I have timesheets to show that I worked

more than 4 times.

a

Tell me about the allegations about feces and patients not being changed.

V

I always get my timesheet completed. The nurse would not sign off on my timesheet for the

day if I had not got my residents finished. The only incident I remember about feces

was Vital

said my partner Keisha and I didn't change the resident and left them in feces.

On Wed, Keisha

and I worked together. There was another girl who was an actual employee who didn't want to

work with Keisha, so I told Keisha to work with me that day. I don't remember who she was

that didn't want to work. We worked all the patients and when I left,

1

Keisha worked a double

on the same hail. How could we leave patients soiled if she was there from 7-3pm and 3-llpm?

They said a med tech had to clean up behind us, another CNA from another shift would have to

clean the patient. Med techs don't clean patients. Keisha worked the next shift and she would

have to take over once I left. She couldn't leave people unattended when working both shifts.

Tell me about sexual harassment incident?

Me and Eric work a lot of different places together. I knew he was attracted to me and he knew

I was married. At the Regency location we worked at, he made it known he wanted to have sex.

I told him 1 don't have random sex and I'm married. At the job, he walked over to me and he

backed up on me and put his penis on my butt and said, "You want to suck it?" He said that in

front of the patient. I jumped back and said, "I'm a married woman." He jumped back. He

better be glad I didn t punch him. I saw him again on Sunday and he didn't do any rounds with

me.

»;

Vi complained to Miss Byers, the Supervisor in Charge, immediately. Eric started acting funny

and wouldn't help me out after I rejected his advances. I told Miss Byers immediately that Eric

just sexually harassed me, and he put himself against me and is not helping me. Byers called

Eric over there and I was still standing there. -1 didn't argue with him because I didn't want the

employer to call the staffing agency get me in trouble. I called Vital and they didn't answer the

phone. I left a message on the weekend and I sent a text message to Lindsey Charlie at Vital.

She never called me back. I felt like they didn't take me seriously. Every time I made a

complaint to Vital about unsafe situations, they did not address it.

Erica Sanders from Vital called and told me that another CNA was working together with

me

and we left the resident in feces and I was outside listening to music. MS. Sanders didn't tell

me

who called or said what from the facility. Sanders is new, and I have nevlr received corrective

action for poor performance.

Do you know if corrective action was taken?

He was 26 years and even if I was attracted to him, he's a kid.

When no one responded to your complaint?

!;

2

¥ •:

No one because the next day they fired me.

1

When did the harassment occur?

i

On the 23rd, Saturday.

The two years I worked with Vital, no one knows what they are doing in that office. There were

other complaints by other staff employees regarding how they were getting paid by Vital. They

said I had 6 performance violations. I never was notified about them. I worked hard and make

beds military style. I gave a superior work award by the physical therapy area and they only

want to tell bad things. I read some of the position statement but not all of it because I know

they are not honest.

That March 28th allegation that they put me in inactive status. I always take care of my

residents and do my documentation. They have no statements and it's hot documented so its

hearsay.

December 28th issue was when that lady had diarrhea. The lady kept having to go the bathroom

and she apologized repeatedly and I told the patient it is ok. The women wanted to go to the

hospital and the facility wouldn't take her. I asked for Imodium for the patient. I reported this

to Vital. Jurney's did not report this to Vital Staffing. I did the best I could. Why didn't they say

anything to me about this?

That is not true on March 7th. One of the residents cooked chicken in the microwave,

I ran to

the room and took the resident out the room and went back in and opened the window.

Darrell Wright, another CNA from Favorite Staffing called Vital and madt; that complaint about

me. Vital didn't take my story in consideration. When I asked the supervisor at Jurney's, she

said she didn't report me to Vital Staffing but Vital said Jurney's contacted them,

These are all

mixed messages but I'm not being calling into the office or written up. i

On March 11th, that allegation is not true. I was told that I complained about the residents

. I

was working with Frances (she works for Vital) and they were her patients. They said I made a

nurse go home. The nurse went home and didn't come back. Most of the people are HIV+ and

it is a skill facility at the Bryan Center. I didn't make that lady go home. I don't know how Vital

3

got this information.

There are saying on March 28th, Ms. Lindsey informed me that I was terminated. Ms. Lindsey

did not contact me. Ms. Sanders from Vital was the person who contacted me and informed

me that I was terminated. Ms. Sanders was also the person I contacted about Eric's sexual

harassment.

They hire you and put you straight to work. Vital gets the older ones out and the younger

generation who wants to make money and don't ask any questions. They never gave us policy

or procedures about the contracts.
