ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF SNI AND EMPLOYER

SNI will make its best efforts to recruit quality Caregivers and ensure that each Caregiver meets the criteria required by Immigration in order to be approved for the Live-in Caregiver Program. SNI encourages the Employer to review the Caregivers’ profiles and to take whatever steps necessary to verify the Caregivers’ credentials.

The Employer shall refrain from making any private agreement with the Applicant or from taking any action which is inconsistent with this agreement or which has the effect of avoiding any of the Employer’s obligations hereunder. Such private agreements and actions include, but are not limited to, actions which would enable the Employer or any other person to avoid payment of the Placement Fees due to SNI, as, for example, if the Employer gives the name of one of our Caregivers to another person who subsequently employs the Caregiver.

Upon request of the Employer, SNI will facilitate reasonable number of phone or in-person interviews with potential Caregivers and will assist the Employer with selection of a suitable Caregiver. The Employer is aware that although SNI assists the Employer in referring a Caregiver to work in the Employer's home, SNI cannot predict the candidate's future behavior, actions or performance and only the Employer can assess the Caregiver's competence and appropriateness for the Employer's position. The Employer also understands that he/she takes full responsibility for the decisions to hire and to continue to employ the Caregiver and that the role of SNI is limited to supplying Caregivers for the Employer's consideration and verifying the credentials of the Caregiver. The Employer shall, at all times, have the right to refuse hiring any candidate being considered during the referral process.

SNI will prepare all the necessary documents, such as an application for live-in Caregiver for Service Canada and a customized Work Contract, which will include, but will not be limited to, the topics of wages, work schedule, duties, benefits, house rules and other matters, and submit them to the Employer for review and signatures. SNI will then instruct the Employer on how to submit the documents to Service Canada. SNI will assist the Caregiver with the submission of her Work Permit Application and supporting documents to the appropriate Immigration office and will advise the Caregiver in all relevant immigration matters to the best of their ability.

SNI will do its best to provide the Employer with useful tools such as an Initial phone Orientation, a Family Kit, a custom Source Deduction Spreadsheet, Select Nannies Cookbook and other tools as needed.

SNI will provide reasonable support to the Employer and the Caregiver during the entire length of the placement, including source deduction change updates and guidance with the Termination Procedure.
