VIOLATIONS

Working more than 40 hours in a workweek without your recipient getting approval from the county when your recipient is authorized less than 40 hours in a workweek. Working more hours for your recipient than the recipient’s maximum weekly hours which causes you to work more overtime hours in a month than you normally would without receiving county approval. Working more than 66 hours in a workweek when working for more than one recipient. Violations are given when guidelines for overtime and travel time limitations are not followed. Some of the actions that will cause you to get a violation are:

Vacation exceptions may be made if a recipient goes on vacation and needs the caregiver to accompany them for assistance, in which case the trip must be in the United States and be approved by the IHSS social worker. UNPAID TIME
