New time sheet rules starting november 2013
Some important things to NOt get wrong on the new california IHSS timesheets!
While there are several changes to the timesheet and how it’s filled out, our members who were among the first to use the system thought that there were a few changes that we should point out. These changes include:
• All timesheets will now be mailed to a central timesheet center in Chico, California. When you receive your timesheet in the mail, you’ll also receive a pre-addressed envelope with the new address. Use this envelope when mailing your timesheet in to be processed.
• If you need a replacement timesheet, you can call your local IHSS office to request one. However, all timesheets must be sent to the Chico location – not your IHSS office.
• Timesheets have to be filled out very carefully in black ink. Using any other color ink or a pencil could cause a delay in your paycheck since the system won’t be able to register anything other than black ink.
• You can no longer mail your timesheet in before the end of the pay period. Timesheets received before the end of the pay period will be automatically rejected. So even if you only work up until the 12th and the end of the pay period is the 15th, you must wait to mail your timesheet until the 15th.
• You can only send in 1 timesheet at a time per envelope.
• The location for you and your consumer to sign your timesheet is located on the back of the timesheet.
• Perhaps the biggest change is how we record our time on the timesheets. The time we work is now recorded as hours and minutes. For example, we’ll no longer use “point 5” to mean a half hour. We’ll now write it as 30 minutes. And “point 25” will be written as 15 minutes.
