(a) Plan of supervision.--Upon notification that an employee is alleged to have committed abuse, the facility shall immediately implement a plan of supervision or, where appropriate, suspension of the employee, subject to approval by the agency and by the Commonwealth agency with regulatory authority over the facility. A plan of supervision for a home health care agency must include periodic random direct inspections of care-dependent individuals by a facility employee who has been continuously employed by that facility for a period of at least one year.
(b) Prohibition.--Upon the filing of criminal charges against an employee, the Commonwealth agency which licenses the facility shall order the facility to immediately prohibit that employee from having access to recipients at the facility. If that employee is a director, operator, administrator or supervisor, that employee shall be subject to restrictions deemed appropriate by the Commonwealth agency which licenses the facility to assure the safety of recipients of the facility.
