Violations for Going Over Workweek & Travel Time Limits
•
Beginning April 1, 2015, if I submit a timesheet reporting hours that go over the
workweek or travel time limits, I will get a violation. Each time I do any of the
following I will get a violation:
-
I work more than 40 hours in a workweek for a recipient without the recipient
getting approval from the county (when I would not normally work more than
40 hours in a workweek for that recipient);
-
I work more than a total of 66 hours (less any required reduction) in a
workweek for a recipient that I am not in a one-to-one recipient/provider
relationship with; or
-
my travel time is more than seven hours in a workweek.
First Violation:
-
I will get a written warning notice.
Second Violation:
-
I will get a second written warning notice, and I will have to complete special
training about the workweek and travel time limits. (I will get paid for the time
I spend attending the training.)
-
If I do not complete the training within 14 calendar days of the date of the
violation notice, I will automatically get my third violation.
Third Violation:
-
I will be suspended as an IHSS provider for three months.
Fourth Violation (upon being reinstated after the three-month suspension):
-
I will be terminated as an IHSS provider for one year.
•
Once I have received a violation, the violation will remain on my record.
However, after one year, if I do not receive another violation, the number of
violations I have received will be reduced by one. As long as I do not receive
any additional violations, each year after the last violation, my number of
violations will be reduced by one.
•
If I receive a fouth violation and are terminated as a provider for one year, when
the year is up and I apply again to be an IHSS provider, my violations count will
be reset to zero.
