What if an unlicensed person is not willing to perform a health-related task to which he/she has been assigned?
Assignment of health-related tasks should be consistent with the job description of the person assigned to perform them, should not interfere with the person’s ability to perform other assigned duties and should not be in conflict with the terms of applicable collective bargaining agreements. An employee’s willingness to perform a health-related task should be considered. Employees who volunteer should be assigned in the first instance, since an individual who is voluntarily performing a task is more likely to accept and execute the responsibility in a way that is safe and beneficial for a child. Effort should be made to determine why an individual is unwilling to perform a task. There may be instances where it will be necessary for an administrator to insist that an unwilling person who is otherwise qualified must perform a health-related task which they are legally permitted to perform.
