NO EVV, Drains Battery
 

EVV is a horrid App, it drains my battery, despite settings with its constant pinging.  It is an invasion of  privacy.  For Live-ins, we work 24/7 and should just get our hours without logging in.  My son seized at 1:40AM Last night.  Did I clock in?  No.  Did I clock in the two hours I stayed awake making sure he didn’t cluster? No.  Am I ripping off Medicaide?  No.  You are going after the wrong people.  We can’t even make a decent living wage on $9.40/hr with the limited hours we receive.  Medicaid fraud is perpetrated by Companies, not the Aides and Live-In Attendants.  Why are WE being treated as criminals out on parole with ankle bracelets disguised as EVV and causing wear and tear on our own devices?  The App is time consuming, invasive and should be dismissed.
