Tempus Unlimited

You help with A.D.L., activities of daily living based on the consumers needs, hours and medicle comditions. I was appalled when I saw how they cut his hours in half. The program is a plus because family can work with the consumer, especially those that give up thier own career to care for someone else, whom they love. I have had 4 consumers over the years and one had me even do yard work( not allowed), this was 15 years ago to current.  There is no oversight of the program and rules. So it's up to the person/ consumer to follow them and most do not. So say No to anything they can fire you, because the consumer is the employer not the agency. If you cause waves they will fire you. It's a tough position, but also can be positive and rewarding experience with the right family. I worked for one of those too. So be selective when applying for these jobs. Try to look for those that follow the guidelines. Being a PCA was great nursing experience prior to becoming a nurse. I learned trachea care, medication administration through a G tube, oxygen, suctioning, and alot of everything across the board, not that that's right eather, it was prior to being a nurse and the consumer had a lack of nursing hours from ma health.  If your interested in heath and helping this job is great. Not the agency or the heath insurance co whom is the real boss, though sorry to say. Oh too according to ma gen law all employers must provide health insurance, when they have 5 or more employees this is how ma health gets away with not providing individual insurance to thier employed by having a subsisisiary program named aka Tempus and Cerebral Palsy ( only do paychecks and hours) then make the consumer the employer. When ma heath clearly pays the bills. There are so many people but it does not have to legally offer heath insurance them selves. It's a loop hole creates by the system for the system. The union battles this constantly with no avail. They throw another sick/ vacation day at them and the union accepts.I went to 3 union rallies with my consumers.  So do not expect benefits, no matter how much or hard you work/Try.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping people with illness. Taking care of people that can't do normal things anymore due to physical illness, mental illness, and poor health. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You never know what to expect from day to day. One day your client may be fine and just need easy assistance. Other days you might have to call 911 because they are having trouble breathing. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's great it's just 99% of the time the client and yourself. Some clients are family members which makes it easier. The down side is your family member needs this assistance and that is hard to take in. Someone like myself even a stranger that can't function no more or do the normal everyday things in life, is very heartbreaking to observe. When you have heart and work with your heart and really not for the financial benefits it can easily over take your emotions. I know most people work to make money and that's understandable, but there comes a time in life that helping someone is worth any amount of money you can be paid. See life is a journey, a tough one at that, but when your doing it from your heart with joy and empathy no dollar sign can take that away. Walk  rightcheous and all sall be added to you.

I worked with 1 client for 3 years. I was with her till the very end. Tempus recently changed policy for scheduling and that made things so much easier for all PCA’s and all the clients. I feel some of the rules on what we can get paid for do t make any sense but that’s not on Tempus that’s on Mass health who is who actually pays you and who you have a contract with. You definitely need to be mentally and emotionally strong to work this job. You have to understand that in most cases you are the person the clients see and talk to the most in their life. That they have very hard lives that get frustrating. They need our help and appreciate it but do get frustrated with them selfs that they do need our help so much. So sometimes some clients will lash out but you need to understand why and where it’s coming from so you can truly be there for them. Help them feel better. It’s a challenging job and the pay is slowly getting better. I believe that is a very rewarding job that makes a true difference in people’s lives. You become family and they become your family. I was with my client till the very end and her family is still a part of my life. This is also a great job to start out and build a great resume.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I would give a negative if i could. Cany keep track of whether you watched orientation video so they threatwn to take away $1 an hour. Never ever cant get in touch with customer service. And faxing seems to disapear as well. They have very few reps and they are not trained well

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being able to reach anybody about paper,payroll or payrate questions issues mistakes.example is doing orientation video. Having confirmation it was completed. Orientation people confirm it as well but tempus cant communicate appropriately to each other update things i. Commputer so you continue to get letters stating your pay will be reduced by $1 an hour til completed. Went through this with 2 clients for 1 year. That was one issue of more...

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is agency so i worked at clients home however tempus office were super short staffed. Hard to get intouch with someone 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Agency depends on clients needs . How many clients ecct ecct

What is the best part of working at the company?
I didn't work at the company I worked for the company . I was Pleased and want to remain working for them. Pca, Getting the patient up first thing showered, dressed cook breakfast if needed help he,/she eat. Clean up the dirty dishes while he/ she is watching TV. Remember they come first.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If the patient didn't sleep well he/she can be difficult, I would take my time and  give them some breathing air. Overall my Job will be done for that day.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Any Race is ok with me. I have worked with all race , my answer will be 1-10 10 would be my answer. I Love working in this Field . I have experience in losing a client. And Still doing my Job overnight requirements.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Being on time , never call out. Doing my job and respecting my co-worker. Preforming  my Job at my best.

I've been working with a teenager and his family for almost 3 years now. By now I'm considered part of the family. And I LOVE that. The people we help are fantastic and I consider the teenager one of my best friends.
That being said, y'all have a lot to work on. Communication within the company is terrible. I've called Tempus about 5 times in the last week, waited over an hour each time, and have hung up because I'm so frustrated. Timesheets are usually fine... except when I really need the money. My timesheet was submitted over three weeks ago and I haven't received it. I have around $40 in my bank account due to medical bills and normal bills and RENT. Pretty much can't afford groceries right now. I've even reached out via email multiple times and nothing. Radio static.
Please improve your communication!! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The job of caretaking is gratifying on its own. However, doing so with a company whose motto is allowing the client or the CLE (Common Law Employer) to be in charge of their own life, being at home and being comfortable; makes it all the more enjoyable. The pay is sufficient and it's fairly flexible.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There's no stress the interview process is very informative and satisfying of what's expected on the job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great people to work for. The customer service line is great and also HR and payroll are very dependable and responsive when you have an issue!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work from my CLE home it's a very flexible position and allows me to work comfortably in a known environment.

Like I said very rewarding job I really have no complaints just good things to say about the job happy to have it last job I had had no respect for their employees so that's why I'm still here because I work let's get a chance to give back hopefully one day the favor will be returned as I get older the only thing weekly pay but it's biweekly which isn't too bad cuz it gives me a chance to save so yes I love my job and happy to happen so at the moment I am seeking a second job so I can build my credit so in the near future hopefully I can buy a rehab house so I can start my next adventure

Great job to have as a second job or extra income, but every client one could work for is different, and company itself lacks benefits or any other means of compensating workers for the work that they do. It is a great job to learn a lot about physical as well as mental health, to work with clients in their own home. You can build your own schedule and only have to attend one orientation about the company, and there is sick time accrual. But there is no health insurance, limited to no compensation for travel, and there have been numerous occassions I ran into the company not processing paper work or getting back to workers on time, and had bad experiences with them even delaying pay. It was a great starting job or job to get experience, but not ideally a job to make a career out of.
