Any news on new IHSS hiring procedures? (Calif)

[Guest guest]

For the CA folks

June will be here before we know it, and my county has still not given details

on how to go about getting current staff fingerprinted/orientation and all the

BS!... they stopped my advance pay while hospitalized, even though they were

informed i was there, they stated " less than a dozen people in our county have

advance pay " , as basically I was having to supply copies, often dated back many

months, more than once, of timesheets theyd lost... all was complied with but

they took me off advance pay... its been working until this new issue with

hiring...

has anybody had the experience of needing to hire a NEW pca, and have them do

all these new procedures first? Fingerprinting can be set up pretty quick, with

prompt results, and although I dont want to go this route, it looks like we may

have to and I'm curious if anybody has gone through this added hassle yet, and

how long it took? Our county has no answers... If a PCA were to give 2-weeks

notice (or none!) this puts us in a real bind for care, and is totally unsafe

and not helping our Calif budget...

UHHH, I dream of a day free of this IHSS hell!
