Article Structure

The Public Partnerships form serves as a vital tool for interventionists working under the Nevada Autism Treatment Assistance Program (ATAP), ensuring that both employees and families understand the framework of their engagement. Upon receiving the Employment Packet, interventionists are informed they will be supervised by the child’s Authorized Representative while PPL Nevada acts as the Employer of Record. This means that PPL Nevada handles all employment-related tasks, including payroll, tax processing, and maintaining personnel records. To begin working, interventionists must complete a series of essential forms outlined in the packet and submit them promptly. This includes an application for employment, a criminal background check authorization, and several tax-related documents. Once the forms are submitted and verified, interventionists will receive an Employee ID number that signifies approval to begin services. Paychecks will be issued based on accurately completed timesheets, which must be submitted to PPL Nevada through their user-friendly web portal or other designated methods. Understanding this process is critical, as no payment can be processed until all forms are correctly submitted, ensuring a smooth transition into their role. With clear guidelines and a dedicated support system, PPL Nevada aims to empower interventionists to provide quality services while adhering to the necessary legal and ethical standards.

Employment Packet

I nformation for I nterventionists

Dear Interventionist:

You are receiving this Employment Packet because you intend to continue to provide services as an employee to a child participating in the Nevada Autism Treatment Assistance Program (ATAP). While the Authorized Representative (parent/caregiver) for the child that you provide services for will serve as your Supervisor, PPL Nevada will serve as your Employer of Record and is therefore responsible for all personnel, tax and payroll processing services. The enclosed paperwork must be completed and returned to PPL Nevada immediately. After you have submitted the documents you should receive notification from PPL. Documents must be properly completed before you can be paid. Therefore, if you do not hear from PPL within 10 business days from when you submitted your packet, please contact PPL customer service at 1-888-805- 1074 to follow up. As a newly hired employee you must pass or have passed a criminal background check in the past year. ATAP interventionist positions are part time positions.

A complete set of forms is required for the first child you work for. Only certain forms are required to be completed for each additional family you serve. These requirements are identified on the enclosed Employment Packet Checklist. PPL cannot pay for any services provided to a child until a properly completed Employment Packet is received.

PPL Nevada will issue paychecks to you based on properly submitted timesheets. These paychecks will reflect tax withholdings based upon federal and state law and the information you provide to us on the tax documents within this packet. The Employment Packet provides instructions on how to properly complete and submit a timesheet. PPL provides a convenient online method using the PPL Web Portal that is the preferred method for timesheet submission.

If you have any questions regarding this process, please feel free to contact PPL Nevada Customer Service at 1-888-805-1074. We would be more than happy to assist you.

What You Should Know About This Form

What is the Public Partnerships form and why is it important?

The Public Partnerships form is a collection of documents necessary for interventionists who provide services to children participating in the Nevada Autism Treatment Assistance Program (ATAP). Completing this form accurately and submitting it on time is vital because it allows Public Partnerships LLC (PPL) to manage payroll, taxes, and employment processing for interventionists effectively. It ensures that you can start working without delays and that you will receive your pay correctly.

What documents do I need to submit in the Employment Packet?

You will need to fill out several forms as part of your Employment Packet. For the first child you work with, you'll need to submit an Application for Employment, ATAP Child Relationship Information Form, PPL Nevada Employment Agreement, and the ATAP Ethics Form, among others. If you’re working with additional families, certain forms are required for each one, specified in the packet checklist. Make sure all forms are completed properly to avoid any payment issues.

How do I submit my timesheets, and who is responsible for this?

Submitting your timesheets is a key part of your employment process. After you record your hours, the child's Authorized Representative and Care Manager must review and approve them. They will then submit the timesheets to PPL Nevada twice a month. It's essential to follow this step to ensure you are paid for your services. You can also use the PPL Web Portal for a more efficient submission process.

What taxes will be withheld from my paycheck?

PPL will withhold various taxes from your paycheck, including Social Security, Medicare, state taxes, and federal income taxes, as required by law. You will see a summary of these withholdings on your paycheck stub throughout the year. Additionally, you’ll receive a W-2 form at the end of the year which will be important for filing your tax return in April. Keeping track of this information will help you understand your earnings and tax responsibilities.

Common mistakes

Filling out the Public Partnerships form can be a straightforward process, but many people stumble over some common mistakes. First, one key error is neglecting to check all required documents before submission. Each form in the packet is necessary for a reason, and missing just one can delay the entire process and hinder payment. It’s vital to reference the checklist in the Employment Packet to ensure all materials are accounted for.

Another frequent pitfall is inconsistent information across different forms. Providing a different address or name format on various documents can raise red flags. Such discrepancies can lead to confusion and might even complicate background checks or tax purposes. Always double-check that your details are uniform and accurate throughout.

People often overlook the importance of obtaining signatures. For instance, the ATAP Child Relationship Information Form requires both the interventionist and the authorized representative’s signatures. Forgetting this step can result in an incomplete form, which will delay any further processing of your application.

Additionally, many individuals fail to provide proof of their background checks alongside the Criminal Background Check Authorization Form. If you have had a background check in the past year, ensure you submit the necessary supporting documents. This oversight can complicate or even halt your hiring process.

It’s also crucial to remember that certain forms are only required for the first client you serve. Inattention to this instruction can lead to unnecessary paperwork being submitted later on. Familiarizing yourself with the distinction between documents needed for the first child versus additional clients is beneficial.

Moreover, missing deadlines for submission can be a costly mistake. Late submissions can impact payment schedules or even your ability to start working as planned. Understanding and adhering to the timelines mentioned in the Employment Packet is essential for a smooth onboarding process.

A significant mistake is not utilizing the online submission methods available. Although mailing or faxing documents is an option, using the PPL Web Portal can streamline the process and minimize the chance of losing paperwork in transit. Embracing modern solutions can save you time and frustration.

Another common error is misunderstanding the Employment Packet forms. Some individuals fail to read the instructions thoroughly, leading to errors that could have been easily avoided. Taking the time to go through each form with care contributes to a smoother experience and ensures you provide all necessary information correctly.

Finally, many applicants neglect to follow up after submitting their forms. It’s crucial to confirm receipt and check the status of your application within 10 business days. Establishing communication shows your commitment and can prevent unnecessary delays in starting your important work.

Documents used along the form

When navigating the employment process through the Public Partnerships form, there is a suite of additional documents that support your journey. Each form serves a specific purpose, helping to facilitate communication, compliance, and clarity in your role as an interventionist under the Nevada Autism Treatment Assistance Program (ATAP). Here’s a brief overview of these essential documents.

  • Application for Employment: This is your standard application that initiates the hiring process, providing your personal information and work history to PPL Nevada.
  • ATAP Child Relationship Information Form: A form to establish and confirm your relationship to the child receiving services, requiring signatures from both you and the child's authorized representative.
  • PPL Nevada Employment Agreement: This document outlines the terms of your employment and establishes the relationship among PPL Nevada, the family, and yourself.
  • ATAP Ethics Form: This guidelines document outlines expected standards related to professionalism, confidentiality, and various responsibilities you must uphold while delivering services.
  • Security and Confidentiality Policy for Protected Data Form: Your agreement to adhere to PPL Nevada's policies regarding the protection of sensitive information.

By understanding each form's purpose, you can navigate the process with confidence and clarity, ensuring that you are prepared to meet both your responsibilities and the needs of the families you serve.

Similar forms

  • Employment Application Form: Similar to the Public Partnerships form, this document serves as the initial step for potential employees to express their interest in a job. It requires personal information, work history, and references, much like the Employment Packet initiates the employment process for interventionists.

  • Background Check Authorization Form: This document, which is essential in both cases, grants permission for the employer to conduct a criminal background check, ensuring the safety and credibility of potential employees, particularly those working with vulnerable populations.

  • Employment Agreement: Just as the PPL Nevada Employment Agreement outlines the terms between the employer and employee, other employment agreements similarly clarify responsibilities and expectations for both parties, ensuring mutual understanding from the outset.

  • Timesheet Submission Form: Like the submission process outlined in the Public Partnerships form, this document tracks hours worked and payment calculations, ensuring proper and timely compensation for employees while confirming adherence to payroll schedules.

  • Tax Withholding Form (W-4): This form, similar to the IRS W-4 within the Public Partnerships packet, is essential for determining federal tax withholdings and is standard practice for all new employees to ensure compliance with tax laws.

  • Confidentiality Agreement: Just as the PPL Security and Confidentiality Policy outlines expectations for confidentiality, other organizations also require employees to uphold similar agreements protecting sensitive information, thereby creating a trust-based work environment.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Public Partnerships form, keep these important guidelines in mind:

  • Do fill out all forms completely and accurately to avoid delays in processing.
  • Don’t submit incomplete forms, as they will not be accepted.
  • Do ensure that all required signatures are obtained, especially from the Authorized Representative.
  • Don’t forget to submit your criminal background check authorization form; it’s mandatory.
  • Do follow up with PPL Nevada if you do not receive notification within 10 business days.

  • Do provide accurate tax information on the IRS Form W-4 to ensure correct withholdings.
  • Don’t delay in mailing or faxing your completed forms to the correct address.
  • Do keep a copy of all submitted documents for your records.

Misconceptions

  • Misconception 1: PPL Nevada does not handle tax responsibilities.
  • PPL Nevada acts as your employer of record and is responsible for tax withholdings as mandated by federal and state laws. They will withhold the necessary amounts directly from your paycheck.

  • Misconception 2: I can submit my timesheet at any time for payment.
  • Timesheets must be approved by the Authorized Representative and submitted according to the payroll schedule. Late submissions may delay your payment.

  • Misconception 3: All forms in the Employment Packet are required for every child I serve.
  • You only need to submit a complete set of forms for the first child. For each additional family you serve, only specific forms are needed as outlined in the employment packet checklist.

  • Misconception 4: It's okay to start working before all forms are submitted.
  • You must complete and submit all applicable forms before you are authorized to provide services. Failing to do so may jeopardize your employment status.

  • Misconception 5: The Criminal Background Check is optional.
  • The Criminal Background Check is mandatory. You must pass this check within the past year to be eligible to provide services under the ATAP program.

Key takeaways

Filling out and using the Public Partnerships form is essential for smooth employment under the Nevada Autism Treatment Assistance Program (ATAP). Understanding these key points will help ensure compliance and efficient processing.

  • All required forms must be submitted: An Employment Packet containing specific forms is crucial for PPL Nevada to process your employment. Ensure that you complete every form listed on the Employment Packet Checklist.
  • Timely submission is critical: Submit all paperwork immediately after filling it out. Delays can lead to complications with your pay, as PPL will not issue paychecks until the completed forms are received.
  • Background checks are mandatory: A criminal background check must be completed before you start working. If you have had one in the last year, ensure to include the authorization form with your packet.
  • Use the PPL Web Portal: For submitting timesheets, the online method is recommended. This streamlines the process and makes it easier to track submissions and approvals.
  • Paychecks are based on timesheets: You will receive payment twice a month, and it will rely on the accuracy of the timesheets submitted by both you and the authorized representative.
  • Contact customer service if needed: If you have any questions or do not receive notification within 10 business days of submitting your forms, reach out to PPL customer service at 1-888-805-1074 for assistance.
