Special Situations

1. Working overnight. When you work overnight, there are special instructions forcompleting the timesheet. You must complete one line for work you did before midnight andanother line for work you did after midnight.

For example, say you worked overnight Friday night from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM. Enter the start time as 9:00 PM as seen below. Enter the end time for that day as 11:59 PM. Now, you did not finish working at 11:59 PM, you just finished working on Friday at that time. Enter the rest of your time on Saturday as shown below – 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM.

2. Working multiple times in one day. Many DSWs work with someone multiple times in aday. You can enter two different in and out times on one timesheet, but you must enter eachon a separate line. If you need to enter more than two in and out times, you would need tomove onto a second timesheet for the same pay period.

For example, say you started working for Sally at 9:00 AM. You helped her until 10:05 AM. You left to run an errand, came back at 11:15 AM, and stayed until 12:30 PM. You would enter one line for each time you were providing services as shown below.

VERY IMPORTANT!! If you do not choose the correct role the system will be unable to find your account in order for you to complete your registration.

8. You will be brought to the STEP 2. Verify Credentials screen. You are nowrequired to verify who you are by completing the three data fields below :

D.O.B: This is the Participant’s or DSWs date of birth, which we have onfile in the system already.

Please note IMPORTANT for users registering under the Participant Role ONLY! Even though you are representing the Participant, you still put the D.O.B of the Participant in the system, not yours. Please enter the date of birth in the format below:

Ex. Correct = 12/12/1988 Ex. Wrong = 12/12/88

If the system is unable to verify your information there are potentially two issues:

1. The Participant’s or DSWs information was inaccurately entered at thetime of enrollment. In order to resolve this:

You should call Customer service and provide the Participant/DSW ID so that PPL can verify the demographic information we have on file.

2. You will now be brought to Step 3: User Information page. This is thepage in which you will actually register yourself as a user in the system.You will be asked for the following information:

FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT

NOTICE FOR APPLICANTS SUBMITTING FINGERPRINTS WHERE CRIMINAL RECORD RESULTS WILL BECOME PART OF THE CARE PROVIDER BACKGROUND SCREENING CLEARINGHOUSE

NOTICE OF:

SHARING OF CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD INFORMATION WITH SPECIFIED AGENCIES,RETENTION OF FINGERPRINTS,PRIVACY POLICY, ANDRIGHT TO CHALLENGE AN INCORRECT CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD

This notice is to inform you that when you submit a set of fingerprints to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for the purpose of conducting a search for any Florida and national criminal history records that may pertain to you, the results of that search will be returned to the Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse. By submitting fingerprints, you are authorizing the dissemination of any state and national criminal history record that may pertain to you to the Specified Agency or Agencies from which you are seeking approval to be employed, licensed, work under contract, or to serve as a volunteer, pursuant to the National Child Protection Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 943.0542, Florida Statutes. "Specified agency" means the Department of Health, the Department of Children and Family Services, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation within the Department of Education, the Agency for Health Care Administration, the Department of Elder Affairs, the Department of Juvenile Justice, and the Agency for Persons with Disabilities when these agencies are conducting state and national criminal history background screening on persons who provide care for children or persons who are elderly or disabled. The fingerprints submitted will be retained by FDLE and the Clearinghouse will be notified if FDLE receives Florida arrest information on you.

Your Social Security Number (SSN) is needed to keep records accurate because other people may have the same name and birth date. Disclosure of your SSN is imperative for the performance of the Clearinghouse agencies’ duties in distinguishing your identity from that of other persons whose identification information may be the same as or similar to yours.

Licensing and employing agencies are allowed to release a copy of the state and national criminal record information to a person who requests a copy of his or her own record if the identification of the record was based on submission of the person’s fingerprints. Therefore, if you wish to review your record, you may request that the agency that is screening the record provide you with a copy. After you have reviewed the criminal history record, if you believe it is incomplete or inaccurate, you may conduct a personal review as provided in s. 943.056, F.S.,and Rule 11C8.001, F.A.C. If national information is believed to be in error, the FBI should be contacted at 304-625-2000. You can receive any national criminal history record that may pertain to you directly from the FBI, pursuant to 28 CFR Sections 16.30-16.34. You have the right to obtain a prompt determination as to the validity of your challenge before a final decision is made about your status as an employee, volunteer, contractor, or subcontractor.

Until the criminal history background check is completed, you may be denied unsupervised access to children, the elderly, or persons with disabilities.

The FBI’s Privacy Statement follows on a separate page and contains additional information.

Participants, Representatives, Direct Service Workers and Case Managers can reach the customer service center by calling toll-free 1-877-908-1749. The Customer Service Center is open between 8:00 am and 8:00 PM EST, Monday through Friday and Saturdays 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. At all other times, a messaging system is available.

Our customer service staff is also available by email at [email protected].

PPL has a separate phone line (1-800-360-5899) that connects callers to our TTY system. This is for people with hearing and/or speech impairments who use text telephones.

We use our Customer Service Center voicemail system as a back up during regular business hours. The voicemail system is also available during times when the office maybe closed such as nights, weekends, and holidays. PPL will return all calls left on voicemail during business hours within one business day of receiving the message.

PPL’s Customer Service Center has experienced Customer Service Representatives. Customer Service representatives are trained to communicate with a diverse population of people. Over half of our Customer Service team are fluent in both Spanish and English. We also have access to translation services through our Language Line. The language line helps people who speak other languages. PPL does not charge callers for translation services.

PPL enters all calls received, including any complaints that we may receive, directly into our computer system. We identify the caller, the reason for the call, and the date received. We also track how we addressed the issue and the date it was resolved. This allows for easy reporting and tracking of calls so that we can provide the best service to you possible.

Please call us at 1-877-908-1749 if you have any questions. We look forward to working with you!
