AI Summary

  • Answer: There is a significant issue with charging all sick, holiday, and vacation hours to the grant for employees in the CDC department.
  • Trend: This practice could lead to inflated labor costs and non-compliance with grant funding requirements.
  • List: Develop and implement clear policies to ensure only actual hours worked on the grant are billed as direct labor.

Finding Text

Significant Deficiency: As discussed at Finding 2024-03, if an employee was designated as part of the “CDC department”, all of their sick, holiday and vacation hours were charged to the grant as direct labor. Policies and procedures should be developed and implemented to ensure that only actual hours spent working on the grant are charged to the grant as direct labor.

Corrective Action Plan

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Quincy Asian Resources, Inc. agrees with the finding and will develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that only actual hours spent working on the grant are charged to the grant as direct labor. The Organization is transitioning to a new Time & Attendance system, which will address these issues.
