Reminder Regarding Faxed Paperwork

Darrell wishes to remind everyone that it is perfectly okay to fax or email your weekly Waiver paperwork in order to meet the payroll deadline. However, the original paperwork must also be submitted to the Waiver office. 

Reminder--Include the Year On All Dates

Please be reminded that we need full dates on all Waiver paperwork. We need the year included on every entry. Many staff members turn in paperwork with entries dated with only the month and day (4/8, 4/9, 4/10, etc.). Our auditors require the full date (4/8/14, 4/9/14, 4/10/14, etc.) on your paperwork. An audit can take place months or even years after the paperwork was completed and an auditor can/will reject any document that is not completely dated. 

It's seems like a small detail but the YEAR on every document is crucial to our pass or fail when an auditor pulls your paperwork out of our archives for review. Please help us pass. Use the full date every time.

Thank you again.

End of Fiscal Year June 30th

A reminder to all Waiver staff that June 30th is the end of the fiscal year and the accounting department will be closing the books for the year. Please make sure you have all outstanding timesheets and mileage forms turned no later than June 30th.
