Due to a recent Court action, the State will not be implementing payments for overtime, travel time, and wait time for IHSS providers at this time.

The “hours cap” of 61 hours per week for each provider will not go into effect at this time.

Authorized hours worked will be paid at the regular hourly rate of $11.50, and travel and wait time will not be paid.

This means providers will be paid the same way they were in 2014.

The IHSS program will notify you if and when there are any further changes.

Wage in Contra Costa County is $11.50

There are 2 pay periods per month:

1st through 15th of the month

16th through last day of month

Timesheets are due on or after last day of the pay period

Do not turn in timesheets early

Do not claim hours while recipient is in hospital

Complete and turn in W-4 form/Direct Deposit

Scanning equipment will be “reading” the timesheet.It is important that you “print” numbers simply and clearly.
