There is no positive for the persons using EVV especially live ins
 

When my father got sick, he had to find a home for me.  My own family did not want me.  He found a friend willing to step up.  This friend quit his job and I moved in with him.  Back then, with CDC he had some income coming in.  He couldn't have cared for me without having some small income to replace his career.  There was no EVV.  Now, with EVV, there may come a time when he throws up his hands in disgust and pride.  For dropping a career and accepting a poverty level wage to care for another human being, he is being told he is a larcener and needs tracking.  He is doomed if he does and doomed if he doesn't with EVV (due to the glitches accusing everyone of error and just simple forgetting, due to dealing with LIFE IN HIS HOME, to clock in).  There really is no positive for the persons using this especially live ins.
