[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 4872028, member: 17867"] Of course there are going to be dishonest management folks who see a little timecard editing as the easy button way to make the numbers their corporate masters are demanding of them. There is both a financial incentive of bonuses based on hitting certain numerical targets combined with the avoiding the negative consequences of being called out for missing said targets. So there is both “carrot and stick” approach to motivating manager to cook the books. Coupled with that is the complexity of our payroll system that seems to make it incredibly easy to screw up an employee’s timecard and paycheck even when no intent to do so exists...and incredibly difficult to pin down and correct errors once they happen, The fact that so many problems can happen [I]without [/I]dishonest intent makes it easy for the dishonest to hide their dirty deeds. I’ve put many manhours into dealing with payroll issues mostly for part time members who are driver qualified and can be worked when we are out of full time drivers.. they make their normal PT rate when they work their regular PT job but if they drive they get paid driver rate for all hours worked that day even if they did their PT work already. They system will screw this up and pay hours coded as “sort and load” or “break” or basically any other work code at the wrong rate. Then the fun begins.. our management team has to request an adjustment which half the time payroll in Texas will do wrong or deny altogether. It’s mind numbing number crunching and you have to watch every detail or it’ll get more out of wack. I know our ORS spends time every week doing multiple adjustments for this. It’s all very manual and detailed and all over small amounts of money that add up. It’s an incredible waste of time and effort, but I don’t think it’s dishonesty... it’s just a very stupid system that could be fixed. We spend tons of time on back end cleaning up the mess, if we could only get someone on the front end to make the system work correctly the first time!! OK, rant off! Lol [/QUOTE]
