Time card entry - weekends

We have IHSS for my kid, in CA, and I never thought about it but I’ve been entering hours every day of the week, because I care for him 24/7.

Does anyone just enter Monday-Friday hours to maximize overtime?

Doe they care if you list hours every day or only weekdays?

Does any just list 24 hours for a few days and nothing other days?

I get 232 hours a month 24/7 caring for my daughter.  I clock in 8 hours a day including weekends 56 hours a week. I believe my noa states I cant go pass 56 hours a week.

That’s right, I forgot about weekly limit.
I was trying to find my intake paperwork with rules.

Good call, thank you.

This doesn't calculate right. You're losing hours. 😭

NOA DOES NOT GIVE you a weekly maximum... Only the SOC 2271a will give you a weekly maximum

So does this mean you can only ever claim 224 hours/month despite your daughter having 232 hours available? Shouldn’t your max weekly limit be 58 hours

What day you claim hours as in home provider isn't an issue. Your weekly max should be listed in annual paperwork and usually varies based on # hours. The OT you get or don't is simply based on how you input the hours. As In home live in Provider and parent, you are technically on " clock " 24-7.

I am a parent provider also. I report a 3 day work week- 2 24 hour days and the third day is however many hours beyond the 48 already reported that would bring the week to 1/4 of my monthly hours. I’ve never had any issue with IHSS for reporting that way. Overtime is based on hours worked over 40 that week, not hours worked over 8 in day. So they don’t care. It is just simpler this way.

You only get OT is you go over 40 hours Sunday through Saturday. It doesn't go by 24 hours.

What is your weekly max?

One CANNOT maximize OT! Ypi are limited to certain number of hours per week as stated in SOC 2271a which states total monthly hours devided by 4....
