      “A renewal inspection occurred at the facility. A review of staff files was conducted. Staff # 3 had a date of hire prior to 9/30/19 and they did not obtain the NSOR clearance before 7/1/20. Staff # 3 does not have record of an NSOR clearance on file at the facility at the time of this inspection. The CPSL also states that anyone hired before 9/30/19 had until 7/1/20 to obtain the NSOR clearance. The amendments to the CPSL also eliminated the ability to hire staff on a provisional hire basis beginning 12/31/19. In order to continue hiring staff provisionally the legal entity was required to apply to the Department for a waiver. The Legal Entity does not have an approved provisional hire waiver. Staff # 1 was hired provisionally on 10/23/20, and Staff # 1 did not receive an NSOR clearance until 11/13/21. Staff # 2 was hired provisionally on 6/29/20 and at the time of this inspection, Staff # 2 did not have an NSOR clearance on file. Staff # 4 was hired provisionally on 9/25/20 and at the time of this inspection, Staff # 4 did not have an NSOR clearance on file.”
