Live-in Considerations

There are two different ways to setup Live-in Services’ Pay/Bill hours: 1) number of hours per 24 and 2) number of hours max per shift. These are setup on the Service Types screen, from the File->Configuration menu on the main Rosemark Scheduling System™ screen. These two different arrangements can have dramatically different effects on how hours are accounted for, so it’s important to understand how they each work.

Number of Pay/Bill hours accounted for each 24 hour period will be this number. Shifts that are less than 24 hours long will be prorated. This is the setting to use if you want the overall amount of Pay/Bill hours in a day to be consistent, regardless of staff turnover times or the length of individual Shifts.

Quick Tip: Most Live-in Services should use this first approach.

Number of Pay/Bill hours for each shift will be capped at this number. This will cap the Shift, not the amount of time per day. With this setting, the amount of Pay/Bill time for a day (and, therefore, the week) would vary depending on the length of Shifts and when they turn over. Note that, with 24 hour Shifts, the turnover time would not matter.

For example, say you have 2 Shifts in a day, 10a-10p, 10p-10a. If the setting is 8 hours for each 24 hour period (option #1), you would have a total Pay/Bill hours of 8 hours. If the Shifts themselves are capped at 8 hours each (option #2), you would have a total Pay/Bill hours of 16 hours.
