Payroll and Compensation. MBSYEP payroll processing is inefficient, largely due to the failure of host employers to enter youth participant time by the weekly deadline 39 V. Transportation DOES purchased 15,000 SmarTrip cards from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) for MBSYEP participants in 2015, and purchased 9,500 SmarTrip cards for MBSYEP participants in 2016, but some recipients did not use the cards for program purposes 42 Following the 2015 MBSYEP, DOES could not account for 114 SmarTrip cards, valued at $12,540, and following the 2016 MBSYEP, DOES could not account for 745 SmarTrip cards, worth at least $40,975 43 DOES did not pay an estimated $13,585 in interest on the $543,400 SmarTrip purchase in violation of the Quick Payment Act of 1984 44
Payroll and Compensation. MBSYEP payroll processing is inefficient, largely due to the failure of host employers to enter youth participant time by the weekly deadline. In order for youth participants to be paid, host employers submit youth participant timesheets through the People First time management system portal. Youths are required to sign in and out, and record hours worked each day on paper timesheets which can be downloaded from the MBSYEP web page. Pre-populated timesheets containing the names of assigned youths are provided in each employer’s host portal. Host employer timekeepers must submit these timesheets, signed by youth participants and their supervisors, by 5 p.m. every Friday. DOES sends timekeepers an email every Friday listing youths whose time has not been entered. If a youth is not paid on a scheduled pay date or is not fully paid for all hours worked during a pay period, the host employer can create and submit payroll resolution tickets which are reviewed and processed by OYP staff. Host employers are also able to monitor the payroll resolution process. People First super users and power users have the authority to create new participant timesheets and to modify existing participant timesheets. They also can edit payroll resolution tickets. Although four payrolls (consisting of two two-week pay periods and two one-week pay periods) were established to cover the six-week MBSYEP 2015 and 2016 programs, 16 payrolls were processed for the 2015 program and 18 payrolls (excluding a special payroll providing a transportation subsidy) were processed for the 2016 program. The excessive payrolls can be mainly attributed to the failure of host employer timekeepers to accurately process payrolls by the deadline and to apparent system overload. XXXX was unable to determine which of these factors contributed most to the excessive number of payrolls processed. However, during XXXX visits to host employer sites during the summer of 2016, several employers said timesheets were properly submitted, but youth participants were not paid in a timely fashion. In response to ODCA inquiries, DOES OIT staff said that load testing (to determine whether an automated system will function properly when a large number of users access the system at the same time) was performed for youth registration (there were more than 22,000 MBSYEP applicants in 2015 and 2016), but not for entering youth participant time into People First’s time management system portal. Host employers may concurrently ...
