• CHARGES and PAYMENT:
  
  In order to recover the costs of the system there is a monthly fee of $10 for each vacancy listed  There is no cost for County users. When you add a new vacancy you enter your credit card information to activate it. We use the PayPal secure system to process the payment. Your card is charged for each month that the vacancy is active (enabled). To cancel (disable) the vacancy and stop the charge just click the link on your Control Panel. PayPal will send you emails confirming each action. Once established with them you will not have to enter your information every time you add a vacancy. We have no other relationship with PayPal or its parent company Ebay.
   
• VACANCY DETAILS:
  
  We recommend adding "keywords" to your vacancy listing. These are words that describe behavioral or other challenges that the placement is prepared to address, but not ones that are not accepted. For example, you would use "Wheelchair accessible" rather than "No wheelchair access", County staff will be using keywords to find placements that meet some very specific needs.
  
  The system will retain all your vacancy information, even if the placement has been made and you have closed (disabled) the vacancy. Then if you need to re-open (enable) it you do not have to enter the same information again.
  
  Don't forget to upload your agency logo or photo from your agency administrator Control Panel. It will appear at the top of each of your vacancy pages.
