The aides call me to work their shifts but don't call the company. They still clock the hours and THEY collect the pay for that day. It's so stressful for me to continue doing this. Should I blow the whistle?
If the home health aid company is being reimbursed in any way by a state or fed government agency, the Gov't could get involved if an audit discovered fraud. If you knowingly participate or had knowledge about it....well. Is it better to get out in front of any investigation? Probably. . Folks never think they'll get caught until they're knocking on your door. Can you talk to your mom one on one about it and the seriousness of it and that you won't do it anymore? If not, go with minnes advice or always be too sick, busy, tired when they call.

She'll do what benefits the nurses the companies don't get reimbursed. I have worked for these same companies. I'm a really nice person who tends to have an issue taking on others responsibilities when I should say no. I'm pretty sure stress will be what kills me

After six years of dealing with this an it costing me my job I think I'm ready for a meeting
Ok, we need more detail. How has this cost you your job, and what job did you lose? How can these other nurses get paid for not working and you get paid for covering? Unless these are salaried positions akin to say school workers who get X paid sick time and Y paid vacation time, and you are a non-salaried substitute nurse; then something dicey is happening and you don't want to be near this.

I used to work with my mother. As to how theses nurses are getting paid they jot down the hours on the company time sheets stamp the papers with my mothers signature stamp mail the time sheets in and a week later collect the pay check.

Dealing with committing fraud for twenty plus nurses as well as other life bullshit is enough to make someone snap. Technically I didn't lose my job but can no longer work with her.

Sorry to beat the horse:

If they don't show but don't call the company, why does the company pay you? Surely there is a protocol to determine what they are paying for.....meaning detecting that they paid 2 people for one job. Doll, stay the fuck away from this

Sounds like a shity situation smaher but you need to try and take control. Have you thought about buying camouflage and taking them out one by one? I'm really shit at giving advice. Sorry :(

Well the great thing is that nurses are in high demand. Always have been.

Where my older sister works as a home health nurse there is a lot of favoritism, and my mother used to work for them also until they let her go so they wouldn't have to pay workman comp. Long story short, nothing can be done about it because their all one tight knit group. My sister likes to please also and she still works for that place. It is really hard to convince people they deserve better when they have that state of mind.

Nurses are generally people who love to help others and its hard to not be that, but there comes a time when you have to realize that you can help people with any other company and being mistreated isn't worth any specific paycheck.

Wait, what:?:

You'd feel the same way, if you had the displeasure of knowing him. All the bad things I'm not, he was. A true monster, a burden on society, a racist murderer, a bigot and rapist. He died suffering in an old folks home, with cancer. The nurse giggled when she confirmed the death. I said "That's great news, all I wanted to hear, thank you ma'am!" She said "no problem son, have a great day!" And giggled.

Screw that noise.

I don't work for free. I'd make one hell of a stink and get my money.

Ah, I got ya.

Mine is pretty much the same way, except, I have no clue where the hell he is or if he is alive or not.

Got to admit though, it made us more inclined to succeed and be the opposite.

Two more I gotta' outlive. And then I can piss on all the graves of the people that tortured me as a kid. :bigjoint:

You could do like I did... Track him down, and then pin him into his little hole. Let him know that if he ventures too far away from his location that it's all done... And then watch him, from a distance, as the years pass and he gets sicker and dies. Not as fulfilling as dealing with it yourself, but you can limit damage, and at least enjoy ending any reign of terror he's got going on.
