Lauren can multitask wonderfully and we have frequently observed her doing two or three things at once, without errors or losing focus. She shows up on time and has only missed two days of work all year. Lauren is always polite, which is an important feature in an office assistant who has to frequently engage clients. Moreover, she gets along well with her coworkers and contributes to a sense of community and camaraderie in the office.

How can the policy be rectified so that it is coherent with the law and with the director's policies? The assistant cannot alone determine this statement, but can demand that the rights of the patient to refuse or accept
By addressing these issues early on, you are less likely to misinterpret company policies or compensation practices in the future, which may lead to job dissatisfaction.
