For purposes of the Act and this Part, the health care employer shall establish a policy defining which unlicensed employees provide direct care.

1) The employee's assigned job
responsibilities as set forth in the employee's job description;
2) Whether the employee is required to or has
the opportunity to be alone with residents, patients, or clients to provide
nursing care or to assist with feeding, dressing,
movement, bathing, toileting or other personal needs, with the
exception of infrequent or unusual occasions; (Section 15 of the Act)
and
3) Whether the employee's
responsibilities include physical contact with residents, patients, or clients,
for example to provide therapy or to draw blood.
b) For employees in long-term care facilities:
1) The employee's assigned job
responsibilities as set forth in the employee's job description; and
2) The employee's ingress and egress of the
building to get to his or her normal work station.
