6. If you are a licensed Family Child Care owner or employee of an FCC, enter the license number or last name, then first name, of the owner, based how the name is displayed on the license issued by Community Care Licensing.
7. If you cannot locate your employer or facility after attempting various search options, select Employer/Business Not Listed and enter the employer/business details. Registry Staff will use this information to update the facilities listed in CA ECE Workforce Registry and link you to your employer/facility.

Hours worked: Report hours of operation or hours of paid work.

 Compensation Type:

 Hourly/Hourly Rate Equivalent

If you are a FCC Owner, you can estimate hourly rate based on the number of children in your program, times your daily rate per child, then divide by hours of operation.

 Employees can contact their HR for rate of pay or check their pay stub for hourly pay (for salary, divided pay rate by number of hours worked).

Salary

You can provide this information based on total reported gross income for last year (how much you made before taxes) if you were in operation.

Privacy Policy: Your self-reported income data is only shared with your employer or Authorized Officials when you apply for a stipend program that has income thresholds for eligibility as outlined in the Registry Privacy Policy.

 

If you are a FCC Owner or work in a FCC, select Owner/Operator of a Licensed FCC or Employed in a family child care, then select Job Tile. FCC owners will see Owner/Operator twice

 

 If you have more than one employer, you will indicate that employment is Current and the number of hours that you work. See example below.

 

Note: If your employer has verified your employment, you will not be able to edit your employment. You can “Add a New Employment Record” to change your employment record.

Employers – Center and FCC Owner Administration

If you are a Family Child Care owner or center administrator, you can apply for Employer Administrative Access (English, Spanish, Chinese) and be able to manage staff documentation requirements including being able to generate Staff Education & Training Reports, confirm staff employment on the Registry, enroll your staff into trainings, and access the job board to post your vacancies.

Incomplete Profile

When you log in to your Registry profile you may get a notice that says your profile is incomplete.  This means that your self-reported data does not match the documents on your profile. To update your profile, submit training and education documents to be verified by the Registry. Updating your profile can also include updating your personal information (email, password, address, etc.), missing required fields (e.g. date of birth, race, languages, gender, etc.), employer information, and educational information.

 For instructions on uploading documents and tips sheets that describe document requirements refer to the Registry Resource page (resources are in English, Chinese, and Spanish).

Once you upload your documents, including transcripts, permits, training certificates, etc., it will take 6 to 8 weeks for Registry staff to enter and verify your documents before they show up on your Education & Training Report and before the “Your Profile is Incomplete” notification is removed. You can still access the Registry tools, even if your profile is incomplete, including enroll in trainings and apply for stipends.
