Intern Time Commitment and Schedule. Interns will be assigned to provide a minimum of forty (40) hours per week fifty-two (52) weeks per year, of clinical work or case management services at the Member’s site, which includes the attendance of required didactic training activities, supervision time, and paid leave. Interns are allowed to work over forty (40) hours per week (never to exceed fifty (50) hours), but only under the prior approval of their site Training Director. NPTC does acknowledge that from time-to-time, individuals being treated at the Member site may be experiencing a mental health crisis that could require the intern to work beyond a normal working schedule. It is expected that the Member, the intern and the President/CEO will use reasonable judgment in managing such situations and in the event this schedule change would cause the intern to go above 40 hours in any given week then the site would be responsible for all overtime pay as applicable (as detailed in Article V, section M(7).). Should a lawsuit, complaint, administrative investigation, or any other type of legal action of any kind (collectively, “legal action”) be commenced or threatened against NPTC, its officers, its predecessors, its successors, its board members, and/or its employees (collectively, “NPTC”), as a result of any allegation that Member and/or NPTC failed to pay intern(s) as required under applicable state and/or federal law or regulation, or as a result of any allegation that Member and/or NPTC subjected an intern to adverse treatment, each party to this agreement will be responsible for the negligent acts or omissions of its own employees, officers, or agents in the performance of this Agreement. Neither party will be considered the agent of the other and neither party assumes any responsibility to the other party for the consequences of any act or omission of any person, firm, or corporation not a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding, should NPTC be subjected to a legal action arising out of Member’s non-compliance with any applicable law, or arising out of Member’s action taken, or Member’s action not taken, with respect to any intern, Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless NPTC against any and all claims, demands, suits and other forms of liability, including liability for reasonable attorney’s fees and other legal costs and expenses that may arise out of said action or inaction by Member.
