Policies

Once you have completed your initial on-boarding documents via docusign, you will be sent to the Licensing Department for your background check and to review any state license requirements. 

Upon completion of the background check, you may be eligible to be issued a 14 day temp to begin working while completing requirements. 

We will follow up with you four times in regards to your state licensing. If you do not reply within that time, you will be marked inactive and taken off the follow up list.

If you are unable to complete the licensing within the time allotted to you, by the licensing department, let us know. We review temp extensions on a case by case basis. 

The following states do not allow any type of temporary work:

Alabama

Arkansas

Louisiana

North Carolina

Oklahoma

Anyone onboarding for a no temp state will not be issued a temp to begin working when cleared.

Each person onboarding needs to submit a valid US ID which includes:

Driver's License* 

State Issued ID

US Passport

US Military ID

We can accept a birth certificate ONLY IF it is accompanied by a social security card. 

*Driver’s license refers to any license that allows someone to drive, can also be a Motorcycle License; CDL; Learner’s Permit, or other type of driving privilege card. 

Anyone that cannot provide one of the above listed can provide the following:

Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) & Social Security Card OR

Work Visa & Passport 

Any of the above items that are submitted must be current, no expired IDs can be accepted. At least one of the items submitted to Skyline must be a photo ID.

In the event the newhire has lost their driver’s license/ID, we can accept the temporary one issued by their local DMV as long as the new hire provides the permanent driver’s license/ID once received.  Temporary ID must be valid. 

A permanent resident card (also known as green card) is plastic card, similar to a state issued ID or drivers license, which shows the individuals biographic information, photo, fingerprint and expiration date. This card is issued by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Every person granted access to our Orion system is required to undergo a background check before login access is authorized. 

Upon review of your background, you will be notified if you are eligible to be granted access under a temporary status while obtaining any necessary required state registration/license. 

If your background check is denied, you are provided 5 days to send the department any court documents you may have, for review. If any information on your background check is incorrect, you can reach out to Simpliverified to have it removed at (855)837-1328

To formally request approval to work in a new state, be sure to navigate to that state page listed under the State Licensing page and submit the request via the work request form on that page. You can also send the request via email directly to Compliance.

Any temporary permits that are provided are only so you can train with Orion while obtaining your state registration. If you do not complete your state registration within the time frame given, you will no longer be able to work.

Temporary permits will only be issued for one week in each regulated state per 12 month period. Anyone wanting to work in a regulated state that has already used up their temporary permit will be required to obtain the licensing first.

Initially all employees are responsible for any licensing fees related to working in regulated states unless otherwise noted. If you need any assistance in covering the upfront cost of applications or training courses, you can include that on your work request form. 

Anyone obtaining assistance with training course fees will have those fees deducted as soon as the course is registered for. If the course is missed or the employee cannot attend, we are unable to provide a refund.

This is the official policy regarding missed, canceled or rescheduled training courses for the states of Florida, Virginia or any ESA related training. 

These training courses are time sensitive and required to further your licensing process in these states and must be handled quickly and professionally. 

For non corporate (1099) employees, there will be no refunds for missed or canceled courses. Once a deduction has been applied, we will not be able to reverse it.  

For corporate (w-2) employees, anyone that misses or cancels their training course will be charged back for the full amount of the training course. 

For everyone, if you need to reschedule a course once signed up, you will be allowed to do so only one time. Any further scheduling changes will be charged back to you at $50 per occurrence. 

We are unable to hire anyone under the age of 18 as they are unable to obtain the required state registrations or licensing and cannot undergo a background check. No exceptions.

Most blitzes require the department at minimum two weeks notice time to provide proper assistance for licensing and/or temps. Be sure to include Compliance in any request you send for a blitz to ensure that we can provide access to run credit in the requested state. 

Blitzes will only be approved for up to two week in a 12 month period for regulated states. Anyone wanting to blitz in a regulated state that has already used up their temporary permit will be required to obtain the licensing first. 

The following states do not allow any type of temporary work:

Alabama

Arkansas

Louisiana

Oklahoma

*Blitz requests in no temp states must allow enough time for licensing to be processed by the state.
