All postings on WVPTA website must be for bona fide open positions at a specific location. As such, we reserve the right to cancel any posting, or any contract with a company that submits a posting, with no refund of money that in our sole determination violates this bona fide open position requirement. We may at any time-but are not obligated to do so in making a determination of bona fide positions-request documentation from the agency, or request written confirmation from the employer that they have given authorization to the agency to recruit for that position. In the absence of written job orders from the company, we will require written confirmation from the employer (via email or fax) verifying that the agency is authorized to recruit for the position. Please be aware that provision of documentation doesn't guarantee that we will accept a posting if we still determine that it does not represent a valid open position. WVPTA shall have the right to approve or deny all advertising prior to publication. WVPTA may decide that certain products or services are not eligible for advertising in WVPTA publications if advertisements for these specific products or services in other media consistently or significantly depart from Association standards. The fact that an advertisement has appeared previously in an WVPTA publication shall not preclude the Association from denying placement of that advertisement in the future. Sensational language, such as the extravagant use of superlatives or punctuation marks, will not be accepted. WVPTA is opposed, as a matter of health care policy, to arrangements under which sources of referral (including physicians) stand to profit from referring patients for physical therapy. The policy, adopted by the House of Delegates, states: "The American Physical Therapy Association opposes ... participation in services that is in any way linked to the financial gain of the referral source." Financial Considerations in Practice (HOD 06-99-13-17).Because of this policy, WVPTA does not accept job listings for positions in a practice if any physician or other referral source has a financial interest in the practice and refers patients to an employed physical therapist or to a physical therapist who supervises an employed physical therapist assistant. All employers submitting job listings to WVPTA must make the following certification by checking the "I agree" box at the beginning of the posting process: "I certify that no referral source (including any referring physician) has a financial interest in the practice that has the position that is the subject of this advertisement." The American Physical Therapy Association and WVPTA prohibits preferential or adverse discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, gender, age, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, or health status in all areas including, but not limited to, its qualifications for membership, rights of members, policies, programs, activities, and employment practices. WVPTA and APTA are committed to promoting cultural diversity throughout the profession. |
