Section 612:10-7-56 - Employment

(a)Use of Employment status. A case is placed in this status when the client begins employment. The client must be followed in employment for a minimum of 90 days prior to being closed to ensure the adequacy of the employment in relation to the needs and limitations of the client.

(b)Supported employment. Cases are placed into employment status after the requirements have been met for completion of the "Stabilization" Milestone, and the client is ready to begin the final milestone, "Successful Employment". During this milestone, the provider must continue ongoing supports for a minimum of 90 days before the case can be closed.

(c)Employment and Retention. Cases are placed into employment status when the individual has completed the "R4 Four Weeks Job Support-Retention" Milestone which includes short term job coach training and support. The client must be followed in employment for a minimum of 90 days prior to being closed.

(d)Case recording requirements. After the client has entered employment, it is the client's responsibility to provide the counselor with the job title of employment and salary information. When an individual is placed in employed status, case recording will document:

(1) Beginning date of employment;

(2) Name and address of the employer;

(3) Job title which describes the position held by the individual;

(4) Client's hourly wages and hours worked per week to determine weekly earnings;

(5) Suitability of the employment; and

(6) How the job was obtained. If the information is obtained from a source other than the client, the source of the information will be identified.

(e)Contact. When a client is placed in employed status, contact is maintained through the end of the required 90 days and documented until it is determined the employment is satisfactory and the case can be closed. This determination that the employment outcome is satisfactory will be made with the full participation of the client.

(f)Case recording.

(1) Documentation of all contacts with the client during the 90 days, to address any employment related issues, including satisfaction with the employment.

(2) Documentation in a case note of the start date of employment, type of employment (i.e. cook, housekeeper, lawyer) employer name address, hourly/weekly wages and benefits.

(3) When applicable, and information is not obtainable from the client, the counselor will document the employment, type of employment (i.e. cook, housekeeper, lawyer) employer name and address, hourly/weekly wages and benefits including by what means the employment was discovered and the date of the discovery of employment.

(4) Attempts to obtain verification of employment earnings will be documented in a case note including the reason as to why this verification was not forthcoming.
