If you are a home provider, United Way will issue a check directly to you, including any employees, for completed training hours at a rate of $15 per hour. Each provider and employee must report this income on their annual tax return.

​

Important: Home providers must have a W-9 form on file with United Way in order to receive training incentive payments. Checks will not be issued until the W-9 is received.

Please send your completed W-9 form to:

United Way of Reno County 111 N Walnut, Suite B Hutchinson, KS 67501 Phone: 620-669-9329 Fax: 620-669-9320

Be sure to include a note or subject line stating “Child Care Provider.”

If you work at a child care center, the process differs slightly. United Way will issue a single check to your center for the total training hours of all attending employees. The center is responsible for compensating each employee at $15 per hour and for managing any necessary tax withholdings according to Department of Labor requirements. An additional 15% administrative fee will be applied to cover processing costs.

Employees attending training sessions can expect to receive $15 per hour for completed training time. Regardless of whether you work for a center, school, or home-based program, it is your employer's responsibility to compensate you for these hours. If you work for a center, home, or school outside of Reno County but reside in Reno County, a check will be issued directly to you. A W-9 form must be on file for any check to be processed.

• Training certificates will be issued directly to attendees at the end of the training or sent via email or mail afterward. It is the attendee's responsibility to submit their training certificate to their center director or home provider.

• All attendees are required to sign in at the beginning of each session to ensure accurate attendance records are maintained. Those who register but do not attend will not receive compensation or training certificates. Compensation and certificates will only be granted for hours completed.
