Description: In this topic the client will learn about the DCI fob device for EVV punch entries. The DCI fob is an alternative method of EVV that can be used when the employee does not have a smart phone/device and the client does not have a landline. The fob is a small device that is secured in the client’s home. Fob EVV is not available for all programs. There is a replacement cost for lost, missing or broken fobs. Speak with program coordinator for details.
*Please note: Fob time entries are EVV compliant, so the client does not need to approve fob time entries. They will approve automatically. There is no action needed on the part of the client to use the DCI fob device.
