June 2019
Beachin', Cruisin', or Just Restin'?
Well, it's that time again here in sunny June, where we go on vacation to enjoy life, get together with friends and loved ones, see the many wonders in our world, and maybe just simply recharge our batteries from our exhaustive work lives.
BUT, leaving work behind is not that simple. Here's something to ask.
While I am away, am I required to provide client coverage during my absence? If I arranged for client coverage, what may I tell my covering provider about one of my clients who has been in crisis recently?
