North Carolina elects to utilize 100% time reporting, via "day sheets", as the foundational core of the methodologies for distributing costs for personal services, personnel benefits and non-personal services for both the Division and the 100 local Departments of Social Services. These costs support a broad spectrum of programs funded through a wide range of Federal and non-Federal funding sources. In order to ensure the integrity, reliability and validity of the time recording system as the primary means for distributing multiple millions of dollars in costs, adequate staff training must be provided.  The Division of Social Services has developed a comprehensive training to provide guidance to staff on:

  • Federal requirements and policy for Day Sheets
  • The DSS reimbursement process and the importance of Day Sheet coding
  • Time keeping and documentation requirements
  • The importance of communication between fiscal and program staff. 

The links below are provided as a resource for the county Departments of Social Services. They include links to the materials used in the training, the Services Information System (SIS) User's Manual, and other relevant information. Counties should contact their Program Representative for more information.
