Attendant Changes and Termination Complete the Attendant Change Form if an attendant changes his or her name or address. Complete the Attendant Termination Form when an attendant no longer works for you. These changes should be reported to Acumen as soon as possible. Email, fax or mail completed forms to Acumen. Attendant Pay Rates If you want to establish or change an employee’s hourly pay rate, you must turn in an Attendant Rate Sheet. Please note the effective date you want the new rate to start. Rate changes cannot be retroactive. Make sure you refer to the Cost to You chart so you can see the total cost and stay within your budget limits. Attendant Files Acumen recommends that you always make a copy of any forms you submit and that you keep these copies in a safe place, as they contain sensitive and personal information. We recommend that you also maintain a current and accurate file on each attendant hired. This file should contain all attendant documentation, including but not limited to the following: W-4, I-9, Attendant Agreement, copies of completed timesheets, background check information, and reference checks. Confidentiality and Protection of Records Attendants must not disclose or knowingly permit the disclosure of any information concerning the member, the employer, or his/her family to any unauthorized person. Earned Income Credit Some attendants are eligible for Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). EITC is a refundable federal income tax credit for low to moderate income working individuals and families. To qualify, taxpayers must meet certain requirements and file a tax return, even if they do not have a filing requirement. To learn more about the rules and income limits to qualify for EITC, contact the IRS at www.irs.gov/eitc or call 1-800-829-1040. Background Study Potential attendants are required to complete a number of background checks. These background checks include a criminal background check run through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Board of Nursing check through DORA, the Medicaid List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) and E-verify. Acumen will notify you of the results and if the person can or cannot be hired. Live-In Exemption If the attendant has a live in relationship with the member and you believe they qualify for the Live-In Exemption, please contact our office for an Attestation of Employee Live-In Exemption form. The attendant must reside in the household in which they provide the services. They must reside in the member’s home permanently OR reside in the member’s home for extended periods of time (120 hours or more per week). No family relationship has to exist. If the attendant qualifies, you may be exempt from paying them overtime.

If the Caregiver falls into the category of Spouse or Child as outlined above, Social Security and Medicare tax will not be withheld from their checks. If the Caregiver falls into the category of Parent and meets all 4 parent conditions, Social Security and Medicare tax will be withheld from their checks. If the employee is exempt from FUTA, SUTA, Social Security and Medicare, the employer will not be charged for their share of Social Security and Medicare or FUTA and SUTA withholdings.

Pay Selection Options Below are the options employees have for receiving their paychecks through Acumen. Please read the information about each option and select the one that is right for you. Paystubs will be sent to the email provided on the Authorization for Direct Deposit or Pay Card on the following page. You will need to provide additional information based on your selection; please read the instructions below and return all the necessary forms.

Direct Deposit With this option, your paycheck will be automatically deposited into your bank account on payday. There is no charge from Acumen to receive your pay via direct deposit. You won’t have to wait for the mail or make a trip to the bank. Paystubs will be sent to you by email on payday. You can have your paycheck deposited into one or two accounts, and you may change your account information at any time. Please note: You have the option to deposit a flat dollar amount or a percentage amount of your check to the primary account. If you choose to have a flat dollar amount deposited into your primary account you will need to provide a secondary account in which the remainder of the funds will be deposited to. If you choose to have a percentage amount of your check deposited into two accounts, you must indicate the percentage to be deposited to each. The percentage total must be 100%. If no amounts are indicated, 100% will be deposited into the primary account. To enroll, fill out the information on the Authorization for Direct Deposit section of the form and return it, along with the additional requested items, to Acumen. You will receive paper checks by mail until your bank information is verified – usually within two pay periods.

Pay Card Pay cards – also called pre-paid debit cards – work just like a regular debit card, but are used only for payroll deposits. Acumen does not charge for this option, although the card provider may charge fees for certain transactions. Pay cards are up to 80% less expensive to use than check cashing services. Paystubs will be sent by email on payday. To enroll, complete the Authorization for Pay Card section of the form and return it to Acumen. Money Network will send you an information kit. You will need to activate the card with Money Network and then contact Acumen with your account information. You will receive paper checks by mail until this process is complete.

Please return the completed form to Acumen. You may send by email, fax, or mail listed below:

Email: [email protected] Fax: (866) 211-6378 Mail: 5416 E. Baseline Rd., Suite 200, Mesa, AZ 85206

Note: if you do not select one of the options, Acumen will send your pay check via regular mail, according to the established pay schedule you have received. We make every effort to get your check to you by payday; however it is impossible to guarantee the date that paper checks will arrive. Acumen is not responsible for any delays or misdirected mail after checks have been submitted to the U.S. Postal Service. If your paper check does not arrive within 5 business days of payday, you can call Acumen to issue a stop payment and have a new check issued. A processing fee of $35 will be deducted from the new check for each stop payment request. This fee may be waived by signing up for direct deposit or pay card.
