Conflict of interest?

I have a question. I am reading the handbook for a home care position and it states that employees may not have "conflicts of interest." I understand that would mean working for another home care, but would that apply to LTC? I have received 2 job offers and I would like to work both. I just want to make sure that I don't violate any rules. Any thoughts?

    I wouldn't think that working for another home health company, or any other company for that matter, would be considered a conflict of interest. There are multitudes of nurses and CNAs that have 2+ jobs.

    Prohibiting employees from having conflicts of interest refers more to, say, you wouldn't be able to take care of your grandmother if she was a client, or you wouldn't be able to get so close to a family that you were staying "off the clock" to take care of their loved one or doing special favors for them.

    It never hurts to ask your company and find out what they mean specifically by "conflict of interest."

    Basically you can't work in two acute care facilities/LTC facilities /s permission. Yes, some places do state that in their handbooks, and I've seen them. Most don't really care even though it's in the handbooks but there are some places that do. You really need to ask that question to both facilities where you have job offers. Also there could be two conflicting unions representing both places so there's another issue there. Just be up front. Good Luck

    Conflict of interest occurs most of the time when the client wants to switch agencies and requests the caregiver to go to the new agency. Or the caregiver gets overly involved in getting the client to go with one agency over another due to it being beneficial to the caregiver. Most caregivers are able to be employees of more than one agency or more than one facility without letting that employee loyalty affect their interactions with clients.
