  • Kerri was in Tempe April 14th and 15th, and in Yuma April 18th through the 21st.  The trip was a success, with Kerri learning a lot about the issues the Payroll Departments are having, and also demonstrating and training (with Human Resources) on the PAR. Kerri also met with both Business Offices to learn what issues they are having, and what is coming up that needs to be addressed.
  • Tempe will be paying their X% stipend for the 2011-12 fiscal year with each pay, so the system needs to be able to calculate that on-the-fly, but not for every position.
  • Kerri needs to tweak the PAR program for posting to the Payroll system, and needs to create the Governing Board reports.  She also needs to allow the HR Department to post a Governing Board approved level, after the Governing Board has seen the PARs.
  • We still don't have a final decision from the state on how SB 1614 (Arizona State Retirement) will affect us, exactly.  We know we will have different rates for the employee and the employer, but not whether we will have different rates for M&O versus Federal funding.  Also, Yuma has committed to reimbursing the employees for the additional cost, so the system will need to calculate that also.
  • Both Tempe and Yuma will be paying Prop 301 Performance pay in May.  Kerri usually runs a program to set these up.
  • Yuma may be running a 27th pay to end out the fiscal year, and a 0 pay in the new year, that needs to post to 2010-11.
  • Keeping Sync issues (Keeping Sync keeps the Alpha and Compass data in sync)
  • Normal user support, including new user accounts, listing of bid vendors, US Census report, AIMS data,

  • Craig supported the users while Kerri was in Arizona.

  • SB 1614 will be affecting us.  I believe the system can handle the differences in percentages, but I don't know yet how the reporting will change, or how that will affect us.  Also, if we have to collect and report the 3% reimbursement to the state, that's a new ball of wax.
