Lack of internet or network access can occur for a variety of reasons. Power outage, internet outage, and poor cellular network signal are just a few.
It is for this reason that ISS is building the eTime app. You will be able to download the eTime app on the App Store® and on Google Play, and have eTime available from your homescreen with just one click. The app will be capable of capturing your shift start and stop even when the network is down. Later, when you have connectivity, the app will synchronize its data with the portal.
ISS will be rolling out the eTime app early 2021.

eTime is designed to handle a variety of situations. One of those situations is if staff change their mind or need to correct a mistake. Even if a shift is not EVV required, as in the case of ComHab Non-Face to Face, eTime still makes a location determination on shift start and end in case the support staff needs to change the job or method of the shift to something that is EVV required. This ensures that the shift will still be EVV Verified, and therefore billable to Medicaid, if, for instance, Non-Face to Face (not EVV required) is changed to Face to Face (EVV required).
