Ala. Admin. Code r. 580-3-25-.03

Personnel

This section establishes personnel record requirements for staff at facilities certified by the Alabama Department of Mental Health (DMH/MR). Operators must maintain records for all administrative staff (e.g., executive director, clinical director, program coordinators, assessment specialists) and may be required to produce records for direct care/support staff during certification reviews. Required documentation includes drivers' licenses for staff who transport clients, tuberculosis test results, background checks, job applications or resumes, and evidence of qualifications and credentials as specified in the applicable DMH/MR program standards. Entities must also maintain U.S. Department of Labor certifications for any employees paid below minimum wage.
