Because of the questionable effectiveness of training for Human Resources, additional training will have to be scheduled and budgeted. This will probably be essential if HR is to become operational. The HR consultant was asked to extend the training period to help complete enough HR data to run a TEST payroll. Additional support will be required to process the first official payroll in January 1999. The VPA committed to a major change in payroll affecting faculty and staff.
Faculty is to be placed on a once a month schedule, while staff is to be on twice a month schedule.
Apparently, Banner check processing is too slow to accommodate the payroll process. This is scheduled for January 1, 1999. The VPIT and Business Manager are to collaborate to confirm this is a necessary change. Alumni Development functional training is tentatively scheduled to begin in March 1999. The technical component of the Core Group doesn t think this allows enough time to go live by January 1, 1999.
