When a leave is shorter than six weeks, we aim to restore your original schedule upon your return. That said, please know that schedules can shift due to a variety of factors, such as client needs, PSW availability, and changing service demands in different areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have concerns or questions about your current schedule, we encourage you to connect with your Service Coordinator or CSS.
