AI Summary

  • Core Issue: Seven out of forty payroll charges lacked timely reviews by officials, compromising compliance.
  • Impacted Requirements: Payroll must be signed by employees, approved by officials, and align with pay periods.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Ensure all timesheets are reviewed promptly by the appropriate official as per grant guidelines.

Finding Text

Criteria: Payroll allocated to the program should be signed by the employee, approved by the appropriate official and coincide with a pay period. Condition: Seven of forty payroll charges did not contain adequate evidence of a timely review by an appropriate official. Three timesheets had no evidence of a review. 4 timesheets had a review dated 11 months after the date of the timesheet. Cause: Due to competing resources and staffing, one manager did not review in a timely manner Effect: Payroll allocated to the program may be inappropriate based on the timesheet. Recommendation: Timesheets should be reviewed by the appropriate official as outlined in the grant.

Corrective Action Plan

In the future, Employment Connection will ensure that timesheets are signed by both the employee and their supervisor. If an employee is no longer available or there is a delay in either party signing, an explanation will be added to the times.
