Nurses are not allowed to take sick leave on sick call, upto 1-4 day emergency sick call absent need to cover by their vacation time off. you loose your vacation time off if you are absent from work due to sick. They only allow sick leave on FMLA with the document proof over sick leave greater than 5 days in practice. Manager in the different unit/department doesn't follow the company sick leave policy or any other company guideline. Sick leave policy differ by the department/unit or the discretion of the manager on the different unit. Company guideline is only on paper not on practice. Nurses at Emory is underpaid but at the same time company push you so much and make you work so hard to improve their matrix. Emory only care about the money and their profit they don't care about the employee. Emory has Known History of Discrimination against Jews student at the Emory dental school. Discrimination still exit against employee . No equal respect to all employee in practice, equal respect only exist on their paper. Human Resource and benefit department staff hardly pick up call or response to the message about employee concern. You can see lots of immigrant people working on low paid job like research specialist, post doctoral position in H1B in the research labs. You can also find immigrant people in IT position but when it comes to the business, accounting and administrative position and those Business, accounting and administrative department you can count the number of immigrant people working on your finger, Only very few immigrant people there. If you are immigrant and applied on Business, finance, accounting and administrative related position your chance of getting interview call is zero. If you look the diversity of employee population as a whole in the company you can find the good diversity but if you look the diversity by the each department or unit you will be shocked.
If you are nurse, you work hard but get paid less and Nurse doesn't deserve the sick leave on emergency sick call at Emory. If nurse get sick and ask for sick leave they loose the vacation time off but not eligible to get the sick leave for occasional sick call.
Emory healthcare insurance premium is keep rising but coverage is keep decreasing over the year. I used to pay $692/ month for Aetna POS plan for family coverage but now with the other new company I work I only pay $382/ month for same coverage.Emory healthcare insurance premium is almost double for the family then other competitive private company .
All 3 Nursing managers/supervisor/charge nurse at the Emory Orthopedic and Spine Center Decatur are not easy to work with. Most of the Nurse tech there are terrible and they make any RN job miserable. Nurse tech start complaining if they have to work what they suppose to do as part of their every day duty. I don't recommend any nurse to apply job there.
