Timesheet Cheat Sheet
Always fill out timesheet with an INK pen!! This section contains the provider’s name (the home care worker) and address and the employer’s name (the IHSS consumer) and address. Check to make sure your address is correct. If you have moved, check the “yes” box, write your new address on the reverse side, send the form to IHSS PAYROLL, 6955 Foothill Blvd., Suite 300, Oakland, CA 94605 and call Payroll (577-1877). The first section of this column outlines the days of the month. Write the number of hours you worked below each day you worked. Write the total number of hours worked at the end of the row. You and your consumer must sign and date this section on the last day of the pay period. The Recipient signature is referring to the consumer and the Provider signature is referring to the home care worker. This is the total number of hours you can receive for this pay period. You cannot exceed this number. For the first pay period, you cannot be paid for more then half of your total monthly hours allocated by IHSS.
Share of Cost
Share of cost is when a consumer is responsible for paying you, the worker for some of the hours the consumer is allotted by IHSS. This share of cost is different for every consumer and most consumers don't have a share of cost. A consumer with share of cost is responsible for paying you by the 15th of every month. The amount they owe you is on the timesheet and is called Share of Cost Liability.
Don’t forget to sign and date timesheet!
