CRP Training Wage Reimbursement Rates

The training wage should be the prevailing wage of the job the JC is training at and thus is determined on a case by case basis. IVRS asks that the CRP review the attached Excel file and complete the chart at the top for the incremental costs associated with the JC being paid hourly, the costs associated with completing a payroll processing, and any other one-time administrative costs associated with adding the JC as an employee in their accounting system.

The bottom half of the sheet will be how the CRP will be able to submit a request for rate approval on a case-by-case basis with the prevailing wage for the job and an aide for our staff to create an authorization.

Please note we don't normally see causation between the number of hours worked by the JC and the cost of the accounting team to process the timecard and payroll check. For example, if a JC works 5 hours this proposal assumed accounting costs of $25. However if the JC worked 25 hours the accounting cost is now $125 which doesn't appear it should be related in that sense.

Andrew Pulford, Finance Bureau Chief, and Vienna Hoang, IVRS Resource Manager, are happy to discuss in a meeting the figures and their processes so we can adequately capture the expenses to the CRP for providing this service to IVRS and our Job Candidates.

• Download your agency's preapproved Excel worksheet.
• The person completing this form should only enter data in the yellow highlighted cells:
  • In cell C15, enter the dollar amount for the JC prevailing wage (determined at the time of training)
  • In cell c22, enter the number of hours worked by the JC (please round to the nearest hundredth following mathematical rounding rules)
  • In cell c23, enter the number of payroll checks cut by the CRP (this is typically "1")
• The very bottom line "Total to be reimbursed to CRP" in red bold is the amount that is automatically populated based on the info entered in the 3 yellow highlighted cells and that is the amount that the CRP would get reimbursed for that transaction.
• Include a copy of the paycheck or pay stub with the claim, authorization form, CRP Training Wage Form, and any associated report.
• Email all forms to your local IVRS office.
