Notes from Payroll Services
Just a reminder; there are several State and Federal Rules that you must comply with:
Direct Service Worker’s (DSW) must be able to pass a series of background checks. 3Rivers charges a $20 application fee for new workers to offset some of the cost of the mandatory background checks. All Workers must be 18 years of age or older Effective July 1, 2015 guardians are allowed to be paid caregivers under some circumstances. Because this policy is complicated, HCBS Participants and Guardians should consult their MCO Care Coordinator about this. KDADS has developed a “Designated Representative Form” that allows HCBS Participants to designate a representative to direct their care on their behalf. This individual may not serve as the paid caregiver and must act in the best interest of the HCBS Participant in directing the DSW. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "I don't have a timesheet!" I'm sure many of you find yourself saying this when you realize that you forgot to clock in our clock out. Well, don't despair; you can have your consumer/employer call 3Rivers within 24 hours of missing your time and we can enter the information into the AuthentiCare system. If you reach our system voicemail, leave your name, your worker's name and the date/time missed and include the activity codes performed if calling about a missed clock out. If you missed clocking in or out for your entire shift, then a signed time sheet is required. Remember, if you are unsure if you clocked in our out, you can call and we will check for you. Thanks for all you do. Payroll Services Staff, Three Rivers Inc. |
