discussing Attendance information

needs of the Maintenance and

Operation Departments.

Sorayda is new to her role and is

eager to learn how the Time and

Attendance system works and asked

great question. After the meeting she

has a better idea of what she want

and will outline in detail the reports

she would like to have.

The first two reports are complete.

Written in Cognos schedule and

emailed to her every Monday morning.

One of the issues that was discussed with Sorayda Moyeda-Young

team was the missing employees punches that could affect payroll

checks and an increase work load on the payroll staff. Missing

punches are due to a clock that is no longer communicating with the

server.

To help solve the issue Rich Crishock, Senior Programmer /

Analyst, wrote a program to identify time clocks that are not

communicating. The program has already been a valuable asset.

Thornton Custodial clock, seen pictured to the left, was only off-line

today. The other clocks are extra clocks use at special times of the

year and are off-line the remainder of the year.

Rich is refining the process to email the departments responsible.

The email will alert the department the day a clock is off line. This

direct communication is reducing the clock down time.

Clocks don’t lose data when offline but timely synchronizations with

the server are very important to an accurate payroll check!

Amazing things happen everyday. Sometimes it easy, like a beautiful

rainbow over ISC-W. Other times you have to look deeper.

This week we say goodbye to T Traweek who is retiring. We have

worked side by side for 22+ years . T’s rainbow is that he will now

have time for his bucket list. I am truly going to miss my friend. I have

two rainbows: One is that we have Son who is working very hard to

absorb all of T’s knowledge and I believe he will be a wonderful asset

to our team. Two, our Business Services Team is excelling and I am

proud of the work they do.
