The Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) agrees with the findings and will put controls in place to resolve the issue.
To ensure documentation of employees who are paid in full or in part with federal grant funds, DBH will enact a time and effort certification standard operating procedure (SOP) in conjunction with the Agency Operations Administration and Office of the Chief Financial Officer. The SOP will direct the supervisor to review a payroll report generated by the OCFO providing each employee’s percentage of time charged to the assigned fund source. A form will allow supervisors to certify the employee has performed the duties that align with the funding source. The certification will be required at least quarterly for employee’s funded 100% and at least monthly for employee’s funded by more than one funding source.
