Reminder--Overlapping Time

Just a reminder to make sure that if you work with a client who has multiple Waiver workers working with him or her, that the hours you claim on your time sheet do not overlap with the other workers' hours.  Some clients have up to 5 or 6 workers per week and it is all too easy for hours to overlap when dates and times on the time sheets are not entered correctly.

We cannot pay two employees for working with the same client at the same time, so unfortunately all conflicting time sheets have to be held without pay until we can resolve the overlapping hours.  When one or more time sheets are late that contain overlapping hours, the problem is much harder to solve.  We then have to contend with collecting pay back from employees or delaying pay until all employees can be reached and all time sheets corrected.  In short, it is a mess.  

Help us avoid this mess and potential delay of your pay by always making sure your hours or days do not overlap with another employee's time sheet.  We appreciate all you do to help us keep paperwork problems to a minimum.
