Our policy includes the following wording for this scenario. For resident adults with a disability/illness: • If it prevents them from doing some types of work, every effort will be made to provide appropriate tasks. • Personal or family disability/illness may exempt one individual from paying for unworked hours for up to 3 months. After 3 months, hours become billable unless the community agrees to an alternative proposal. For context, Green Grove is a 9-unit multi-generational community on 5 acres. The rate for hours not worked is set based on the local going rate for landscaping. Lauren Lake work participation agreements in aging community From: fernselzer (fernselzeraol.com) Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2021 11:38:32 -0700 (PDT) Hi allI am wondering if there are any communities that have written work participation agreements that address the issues that come up as the community ages and there are more members who cannot do much physical work and even have cognitive limitations preventing them from participating fully on other teams that do non-physical tasks. Another community gripe might be that those working hard to make their contribution feel it's unfair that others either feel justified or don't notice when they are not contributing. These are some of the issues 1. same need for physical work around the property, fewer people able to do the work2.some people pay for hired workers because they can't accomplish much themselves, others just hang around on the teams but don't actually contribute much- as this goes on for a long time, it starts to feel unfair3. some people have contributed extra over the years, yet now should they pay because they are no longer as productive?4. in our community, physical work hours and committee work hours are kind of separate - there are expectations in both areas and they are not interchangeable- do other communities do this?5. we have a smallish community and don't have the manpower to put someone in charge of a complicated work tracking system, yet some people resent the lack of fairness otherwise6. People may not be aware of their reduced capacity I know this is big territory and has been discussed before, but I am hoping that there are communities that have developed agreements and written them down. Our community has discussed it a lot, but we have had difficulty in coming to any agreements. ThanksFernNew Brighton Cohousing Aptos, CA
