Waiver Deadlines Missed Over The Holidays

A number of inquiries regarding Waiver pay days have been received, indicating that many people did not heed the warnings regarding the deadlines for paperwork during the holiday break.  Reminders were posted indicating that all normal Waiver deadlines would apply during the break.  Paperwork was due each Monday morning by 10:00 am for Community employees and 9:00 a.m. for Group Home employees, and no paperwork was to be dropped off at the Civitan Shoppe in Bryant.  Reminders to check this blog for these instructions were distributed in paychecks four times; twice by the Waiver Dept. and twice by the Admin. Dept.   
 
The next regular Waiver pay day will be January 11th.  Providing that all weekly paperwork was turned in on time during the week that the Civitan Center was closed, this pay day will include three weeks pay for Waiver employees.
 
Please note that the drop box at the Civitan Center was emptied by Angela at 10:00 a.m on December 24th.  Waiver paperwork for the week of Dec. 17 - 23rd that was not dropped off prior to the Monday morning deadline will not be included in the January 11th pay day.
 
The drop box at the Civitan Center was emptied by Angela at 11:00 a.m. on December 30th.  Waiver paperwork for the week of Dec. 24 - 30 that was not dropped off prior to the Monday morning deadline will not be included in the January 11th pay day.
 
Many people missed the Monday morning deadlines while the Center was closed and several people dropped paperwork at the Civitan Shoppe in Bryant despite our warnings that it would not be collected from Bryant. Unfortunately, pay for these employees will be delayed until the January 25th pay day.
 
It cannot be overstated that deadlines for Waiver paperwork are non-negotiable.  In order to facilitate our billing process and payroll procedures, it is imperative that all employees understand the responsibility of turning in paperwork on time each week.  We hope that you will consider this a goal for the coming year and thank you for your cooperation.
