Payroll Frequently Asked Questions and General Information
As a fiscal agent, ILRC is solely the payroll provider. We are not the employer and you do not work for ILRC. The customer receiving HCBS services from the State is your employer.
Here are some frequently asked questions and general payroll information. If you don’t see the answers you need, please contact Sabrina at 316-942-6300 Ext. 1224 or fill out our contact form.

What if the customer doesn't have a working phone and I wasn't able to clock my time? Use Kansas Authenticare system.
You must call from the customer’s registered phone number(s). It is the
customer’s responsibility as the employer to provide a phone for you to use. If the customer does not have a phone available for whatever reason (broken phone, no minutes, lost phone etc.) Do not work for them until a phone is provided for you. You will not be allowed to claim hours not called into the system. The Kansas Authenticare call-in system is mandatory. If you decide to go ahead and work the customer will have to pay you out of their pocket. Workers’ phone numbers are not allowed to be registered. -
How does payroll work?
Our payroll weeks run Sunday to Saturday. Whichever day of the week you started to clock in and out, your first payday will be the following week on Thursday and then every Thursday after that. On occasion it may be on a Friday due to Federal Holidays or ILRC Office Closures.

How does Direct Deposit work?
If you select Direct Deposit, the money will be automatically deposited to your bank account each Thursday. On occasion, it may be on a Friday.

You may come into our office to do this, or a new Direct Deposit form can be mailed or emailed to you.

What if there's an accident while I'm working?
If an accident results in injury to the Employer and the Employer has a Guardian/Designated Representative, the Caregiver must report the accident to the Guardian/Designated Representative, Care Coordinator, Targeted Case Manager, and to the FMS Payroll provider as soon as possible.

If you have issues with your pay card such as unauthorized charges or your card is expired, YOU need to call ADP/Wisley Bank at 1-866-313-6901 and that you have received a new temporary card from ILRC so they can update your account information and transfer funds from the old card to the new temporary card until another permanent replacement card has been issued to you from ADP/Wisley Bank.
