Rules of Conduct

Respect & Safety

Treat every member with dignity, patience, and professionalism. Keep communication respectful, protect personal information, and never engage in threatening, abusive, discriminatory, or unsafe behavior online or in person.
Provide accurate information about your identity, experience, availability, services, and care needs. Be clear about expectations, pay, schedules, responsibilities, and program requirements so both sides can make informed decisions.
Discuss pay rates, hours, duties, and working arrangements openly before care begins. Caregivers should be compensated fairly for approved work, and recipients should provide clear expectations, a safe environment, and respectful working conditions.
IHSS Connect does not allow harassment, exploitation, fraud, abuse, discrimination, or any conduct that puts members at risk. Any reported behavior that violates these standards may result in account review, suspension, or permanent removal from the platform.
