The Department of Human Services (DHS) adopted the electronic Timeforce (STATS) system for payroll, replacing manual processes. Time and attendance are approved through management levels, with payroll based on Notice of Personnel Action (NOPA) cost centers. Financial Analysts reconcile payroll, and a workflow ensures accurate NOPA listings for payroll purposes. Additionally, in order to ensure that Notice’s of Personnel Actions are updated on a timely basis, ensuring that salaries are charged to the respective account, DHS has implemented the following process: (1) Provisional Payroll Codes are requested prior to the close of the Fiscal Year by the Department of Finance through the Office of Management and Budget through the established process. (2) Once the codes are received, the Division of Human Resources will update the most current Personnel Distribution Sheets to reflect active employees. (3) The sheets will be submitted to Fiscal certification by the CFO, (4) NOPAS are updated with the provisional codes.

VIDE acknowledges the audit findings regarding the Special Education Cluster payroll discrepancies and the unreported fraud incident and concurs with the recommendation. VIDE is taking immediate action to align payroll controls with the established fiscal improvement plan and to institutionalize a mandatory federal reporting protocol for fraud. To address the pay rate discrepancies between NOPAs and the payroll register, the Budget Team and the Deputy Commissioner of Fiscal and Administrative Services will review and approve every personnel action in the ERP prior to the NOPA being executed. This review matches the action against the approved grant application or staffing list to ensure the pay rate is accurate before the payroll cycle begins. To address fraud reporting, VIDE will implement a Federal Mandatory Disclosure Policy in strict accordance with 2 CFR §200.113 that designates the Office of the Commissioner and the Internal Audit Division as the responsible parties for reporting any credible evidence of fraud, bribery, or gratuity violations to the Federal awarding agency and the OIG. Accordingly, the specific incident cited in the finding regarding the $5,221 theft related to bus driver timesheets will be immediately reported to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Inspector General via the online hotline and formal written correspondence to cure the non-compliance. Furthermore, to prevent recurrence of the specific falsified timesheet scheme, VIDE will implement a Service Verification Log for bus drivers and similar service staff wherein supervisors will be required to cross-reference timesheets against daily trip logs or service logs before approving time in the payroll system. Finally, to ensure ongoing compliance, the Office of Fiscal and Administrative Services will conduct monthly spot checks of ERP logs to ensure pre-execution reviews are occurring, and the Internal Audit Division will maintain a log of all investigations to verify that a Notification of Federal Disclosure is attached to any file involving federal funds.
