What should I do If I don’t clock in or out for a shift?

All shifts that an employee does not successfully clock in or out for will need additional verification. The process of additional verification will be collected through Tucked With Care’s missed punch form that would need to be filled out completely and signed by your client, or the administration staff will call client to verify shift worked and times. When either process takes place employees payroll check can be delayed by up to 14 days. So it is very important for every employee to not only clock in and out but to manage over their punches.

Employees who manage over their punches through the app will see a red TS which stands for timesheet required if they have missed a punch in or out on that specific shift. If that happens that employee will need to get additional verification for said shift before shift is paid out through payroll. This is where the additional 14 days can take place.

EVV Responsibility

It is the policy of Tucked With Care, LLC Home Care Agency to only provide those services authorized by the OLTL and the PA Department of Welfare.

All services performed will be done per direction of the Client Service Plan; The Client Service Plan is created based on the specific needs of the Clients as directed and suggested by each Clients Service Coordinator. No Services refused or undesired by the participant will be provided.

Participants should never be asked to sign blank timesheets. If a participant refuses to sign a timesheet at the end of the shift, the office should be contacted immediately. If another individual wishes to sign the time sheet for a participant because of some disability or challenge, the office must be notified so that authorization from the Service Coordinator can be obtained and the record noted prior to the action being taken and the Clients file can be noted.

Any employee will not engage in forcing a client to perform any acts that the client is uncomfortable performing or taking part in and refusal to perform any acts should be documented on the time sheet for that day.

If an employee is unsure about performing a task for any consumer TWC management should be notified, contacted or spoken with to obtain approval for that “said” action.

Time missed by an employee meaning work hours not worked/ or completed on a prior day, that an employee would like to make up needs to be approved by TWC management. Unless client has a flex service schedule time will be forfeited unless otherwise approved by TWC management and Client Service Coordinator.

Employees should note changes, concerns and or participant status on timesheets in the comment section at the bottom of time sheet if additional space is needed, the back of the sheet can be used.

Timesheets without Consumers signature or the direct care workers signature are not considered valid. Also any timesheet improperly filled out or not completed correctly is also considered not valid and can be subject to a delay in processing.
