What is the process to submit my timecard to Trusted?

You will utilize the Trusted mobile app to submit timekeeping documentation that represents the time you worked at your facility each week.

Steps to Submit Your Time in the Trusted Mobile App:

  1. Open the Trusted mobile app and select “View Time” from the home page

  2. Navigate to the applicable week, then click "Add Attachments" to upload your timekeeping documentation

  3. Add any necessary notes, then submit

Your Timekeeping Documentation must have the following requirements:

  1. Your name (preferred for electronic timekeeping, required for signed paper timecards)

  2. Dates worked

  3. The specific clock-in/out times for each shift

  4. The hour types for each shift (regular hours, on call, call back, etc)

If your submitted documentation is missing required information, it may be rejected by the Payroll team, which could delay your payment (unless it is promptly corrected and resubmitted).

We strongly recommend discussing the timekeeping policy with your manager to ensure you're both aligned and have a plan in place to meet this weekly requirement. Timely and accurate pay is a top priority, and we want to make sure there are no issues. Please work closely with your manager to ensure acceptable documentation is submitted by the weekly deadline (outlined below).


What do I submit if my facility timekeeping requirement is electronic?

- or -

If you do not have access to a weekly report that completely summarizes your time, you can provide screenshot(s) of your in/out times & dates worked + a supplemental paper timecard that provides full detail of your week’s time that matches the total hours in your weekly screenshot (supervisor signature optional if paired with an electronic timekeeping report that includes the aforementioned items)

- or -

Picture of a signed paper timecard (signed by a manager). This is a streamlined option of acceptable timekeeping documentation if you don’t have access to a screenshot of your electronic facility timekeeping documentation that meets the requirements. You must still ensure you’re meeting any electronic facility timekeeping requirements, such as badging in and out, etc.)

Examples of electronic timekeeping documentation that shows ALL of Trusted's timekeeping policy requirements:


What do I submit if my facility timekeeping requirement is a paper timecard?

📎 If your facility doesn't have a timecard that they require you to use, please use this blank Trusted paper timecard.


When do I have to submit my time to Trusted each week?

  • If your workweek is Sunday - Saturday, you are required to submit your timecard no later than Sunday at 12pm PST.

  • If your workweek is Monday - Sunday, you are required to submit your timecard no later than Monday at 12pm PST.

If your facility follows an alternate work week or you're unsure about your submission deadline, check the due date at the bottom of your timecard in the Trusted mobile app to find out when your documentation must be submitted to Trusted.


What if I don’t have access to my facility time?

Please reach out to your manager to let them know you need access. If your manager is not able to give you access, fill out a paper timecard and ask that your manager sign it each week.

If your manager or supervisor says they are unwilling or unable to sign your timecard, please send your Care Team a message via Inbox ASAP for assistance.


Will my timecards be rejected if I am unable to provide all of the necessary documentation?

Yes! Due to our timekeeping policy, we require specific documentation from you in order to process your payroll. If you have concerns about what documentation you can provide, please reach out to us via Inbox for assistance. Although you will have the chance to resubmit your timecard if it’s rejected, we ask that you provide complete and accurate documentation the first time to avoid delays.


If my electronic facility timekeeping documentation is missing my name, will it be rejected?

No! Having your name on your electronic timekeeping documentation is preferred, but not required. Please be sure that your documentation contains all other required information (dates worked, clock in/out times and hour types) to ensure it is not rejected.

NOTE: If you are ONLY submitting a paper timecard (no electronic timekeeping documentation), you and your manager must both sign the paper timecard with all the required information (your name, dates worked, clock in/out times and hour types indicated).


If my facility timekeeping documentation is missing work dates, will it be rejected?

Yes! If you are unable to capture this in your picture/screenshot, please fill out and sign a paper timecard that shows the dates of those shifts to supplement your electronic timekeeping submission.

  • If you’re submitting the paper timecard in addition to the picture/screenshot of your electronic timekeeping, no manager signature is required.

  • If you are ONLY submitting a paper timecard (no electronic timekeeping record), you and your manager must both sign the paper timecard.


If my facility timekeeping documentation is missing clock in/out times, will it be rejected?

Yes! To verify your hours, timekeeping documentation must include the specific time that you clocked in and out for each shift. If you are unable to capture this in your picture/screenshot, please send us a paper timecard with those times listed.

  • If you’re submitting the paper timecard in addition to the picture/screenshot of your electronic timekeeping, no manager signature is required.

  • If you are ONLY submitting a paper timecard (no electronic timekeeping record), you and your manager must both sign the paper timecard.


If my facility timekeeping documentation is missing pay codes/hour types, will it be rejected?

Yes! To verify your hours and ensure you’re paid correctly, timekeeping documentation must include hour types for each shift (verifying if you worked regular hours, on call, call back, etc). If you are unable to capture this in your picture/screenshot, please send us a paper timecard with those hour types listed.

  • If you’re submitting the paper timecard in addition to the picture/screenshot of your electronic timekeeping, no manager signature is required.

  • If you are ONLY submitting a paper timecard (no electronic timekeeping record), you and your manager must both sign the paper timecard.


If my facility timekeeping documentation is missing a manager's signature, will it be rejected?

Yes! All paper timecards must be signed by both you and your manager, UNLESS you are submitting a paper timecard in addition to electronic timekeeping documentation.

There are multiple ways to obtain a signature! Managers can sign it in person, exchange over text/email, e-sign it, etc.


How do I document On-Call / Call Back Hours?

Trusted requires confirmation that call-back hours occurred during an on-call shift. Timekeeping documentation must include:

  • Exact clock-in and clock-out times for the call-back shift

  • Total hours or precise start and end times for the on-call shift

    • If your timekeeping documentation only shows the total hours for on-call, include the shift's start time in the notes section when submitting your time to Trusted.

If your electronic timekeeping documentation does not meet these requirements, you must complete a paper timecard with the missing details. Ensure it is signed by both you and your manager, then submit a picture of the completed paper timecard in addition to your timekeeping documentation.


How do I document meal breaks or missed meal breaks?

Trusted automatically deducts a 30-minute meal break unless you provide documented proof that you missed your meal break. Documentation of proof includes any one of the following:

  • Electronic Timekeeping:

    • Timekeeping documentation showing a full shift total (e.g., 12-hour shift recorded as 12 hours, not 11.5)

    • A facility punch correction form documenting the missed meal break

    • A paper timecard signed by you and your manager that notes "no lunch" in the meal period column

  • Paper Timecard:

    • A paper timecard signed by you and your manager that notes "no lunch" in the meal period column

Attach a picture of your proof of documentation along with your existing timekeeping documentation when submitting your time to Trusted.

❗ Regardless of your facility’s timekeeping method, if you are working in California or Washington, a signed missed meal break form is required as proof of documentation for missed meal breaks.


How do I submit sick time?

If you miss all or part of a shift due to being sick, you can log that time in the "Optional Note" section when submitting your weekly time through the Trusted mobile app. Just add the date(s) and times of the shift(s) you missed and let us know you were sick.

Keep in mind that you become eligible to use sick leave starting on your 90th day of employment with us. Sick time can only be used to bring you up to the contracted amount of hours each week.


I was called off by my Facility, how can I submit those hours?

If you miss all or part of a shift due to being called off by the facility, you can log that time in the "Optional Note" section when submitting your weekly time through the Trusted mobile app. Just add the date(s) and times of the shift(s) you missed and let us know you were called “Called Off - Facility.”


I am unsure how to record facility time or what to submit to Trusted, how do I get help?
