Hi everyone! My name is Celena. I was raised in Fort Morgan, a small town here in Colorado. I lived in Washington state for a couple of years while I went to school for my Associate of Arts degree, and I am very happy to be back in my home state! I have worked in day programs as a caregiver/QMAP before and I am currently going to school for my BSN so I am eager to start learning more of the administrative side of things here at Support Inc. In my free time I like going to concerts, being active outdoors with my daughter Adalyn, traveling, and going to basketball games (go Nuggets!) I‘m excited to meet everyone soon!
Please join us in congratulating Jon Moir, the April Host Home Provider of the month!
Jon was nominated for Host Home Provider of the Month by the Denver Metro 2 Team. According to Residential Coordinator, Raymond, Jon makes the nomination choice extremely easy with his consistency and longevity. Jon is always on top of everything and on the rare occasion that I need to ask him for something he will respond quickly. Jon has expressed that D is like his family member and he takes care of her as if she were! With the help of D’s awesome parents, both guardian and HHP are always in sync to ensure D is safe and all appointments are taken care of. Recently, with the roll out of our new SCOMM’s, as I was training Jon on how we planned to change things, and he had already taken initiative of how to effectively implement his HHP duties! I would again like to say to Jon, thank you for always taking care of business and being committed to being your best. Your great attitude and attention to detail is the foundation of D’s success. Congratulations on being nominated for HHP of the month!
Ryan Berg switched residential agencies to work with Support Inc., seeking to live an independent lifestyle in an apartment setting. Ryan has been with Support Inc. for a little over a year and has been such a great addition to the Support Inc. Family. Throughout the year Ryan has been thriving living on his own, utilizes all his services, communicates well with his team members and gets himself out into the community by choosing to participate in events that sparks his interests. Some of those events include participating as an athlete with Colorado`s Special Olympics, volunteering as a traffic monitor for his Church on Sundays or hanging out with friends and his brother. Ryan has been working with Argus Event Security for
over 5 years and is seeking a permanent position with them in the future. Ryan is a great role model to all our individuals that seek to live independently and live life to the fullest. The attached picture is from the 2023 opening game for the Rockies, which he attended with his brother! They are also planning a trip together this Summer. Congratulations to Ryan for his past, current and future successes!
The Finance Department
The start of this year has been busy with the implementation of a couple major payment process changes. We are excited to offer more frequent and efficient methods of payment for our providers, vendors and people in services. The updates made so far include the implementation of bi-weekly payroll for our HHPs, and more visibility and autonomy when generating payments through bill.com.
Bill.com: Improving Ease of Pay
Bill.com is an accounts payable automation software that helps us streamline processing payments. What does this do for us? It allows us to get more clarity, security, and personalization with the payments we process for our payees. This also enables payees to have more control over how they are paid as they can update the banking information, address, or contact information we have on file in real time. Additionally, it enables payees to see what invoices we have processed, are currently processing, and have not yet received. For help setting up and accessing your payee account, e-mail us at accountspayable@supportinc.com.
Moving provider payments to ADP
In line with what we announced last year, we have begun the process of moving the payment method for our Host Home Providers and Family Care Giver Independent Contractors into ADP. This is a three-step process. First, transitioning our HHPs to a bi-weekly pay schedule, then finalizing the creation of the ADP platform for them, finally repeating the process for our FCG-ICs. As it stands, our HHPs have transitioned to a bi-weekly pay schedule enabling them to begin seeing payment for their work sooner each month. We are very excited about this transition as it marks the potential for our HHPs to experience an increase in ease of bill payment, and financial management. We are currently working closely with our HR team and the ADP developers to finalize the move into ADP. Once we have our HHPs fully settled in ADP we will focus on the third wave of the process which will include our FCG-ICs.
What is ADP?
ADP is a self-service portal where you can maintain your banking information, access historical payment records and upload compliance documents. We wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the most efficient way to receive payment from us is to sign up for ACH (or direct deposit).
More on HHP Bi-Weekly Pay
Below is the pay schedule our HHPs are currently following. The first two dates clarify the date range they are being paid for. The third date is when they can expect to see that direct deposit in their account. Please note that if you are set up for physical checks rather than direct deposit, you are subject to the processing times of the US Postal Service impacting when your check arrives. Again, we encourage everyone to sign up for ACH (or direct deposit)
If this schedule is still unclear, please e-mail us at accountspayable@supportinc.com where we will be happy to respond to your questions and requests.
