What if I or my child becomes ill and I am unable to work my scheduled shift?

We understand that occasionally our keiki get sick on PPNS work days. If this happens, it is your responsibility to find a replacement parent. You will have a telephone roster — making phone calls are a more effective method of contact rather than emailing the membership in order to find a replacement.  Should you not be able to find a replacement for your shift you will be charged for the vacant shift.
