~IYE SUMMARy
In response 10 the principles prescribed by MDB, and based 00 tile needs identi tied by •
c::ross-dq>artmental timekeeping subcommittee, staff has de.ised an approa<:h to the
developmenl 0(. timekeeping oystem. The awroa<:h descnDed iil this report "ill provide
the necessary level of timekeeping clelail to allow for accountability and monitoring of
program/seMce costs, without creating an undue administrative bun:en 10 departments.
In order to assure ease cf use and citywide accessibilily. 1h~ proposed timekeeping oystem
solution will require the acquisition 0( substantial romputer netwod improvements, -..chich
tan then be utilized in support 0( <>Iher information oystems. The scope 0( this project
at", includes software design, programming and lesfing, integration witll other related
information systems, and training for all csers.
The proposed oystem wIll be D.'iCr-lHendly. feature electronic timecard enlly and approval.
and allow IKCeSS to on-line payroll cos! detail. The preliminary implementation scbedule
reflects a pIulsed-in approa<:b of on-line features. and requires temporary personnel
servkes in the area of dota roily and technical support.
Equipped .. ith spedficatioos wbicl> would effect this solution, staff bas issued a Request
for Proposal (RFP) for coosuitanl semces for Ihe liM! desizn and doveklpmen!
(programming) of the timekeeping system software. Staff i3 scbeduled to return 10
Council OIl Marcl! 11, 1995 for conlIac1 authorization.
This project is proceeding CD an exceWingly tight time scbedule, i<; order to allow
implementation of the new timekeeping system by July I, 1995, with departmeuls being
trained and becoming active usen 0( the oystee> Over the 1995-% fi..<eaJ year. However.
staff recognizes that because 0( Ibe magnitude of the project and its 1'.scaI "'QUiremems,
Council may wilh 10 discuss the proj<CI in greater dewl. If the Couocil wishes to refer
this project to committee iOr further cflSCUSSion, sta ff will revise !be implementation
scbedule iOr the project accordingly. and delay implementation by providing additional
fundIng in Ihe 1995-96 operating budget fur the temporary staff needed 10 perfonn data

BACKGROUND
Since January 1993, staff has been developing Mission Driven Budg~tlng (MDB) inlO a
viable pcogram-based budgeting process for the City, and has been wO<king Iowards
implementation of !he first MDB bodget in !he 1995-96 !iscaI year. One of !he
'overarching principles' of MDB is 10 provide information on the cost of services
provided, 10 allow Cooncil \0 set prioriIies and allocale resources. The information "'ill
also be used 10 measure Ihe effectiveness of ea.:h servke po-ovided. C<>Sts will be
bodgeted and monitored at the programfservice leveL Accordingly, MDB will require
coosiderably mo<e detaIled time reporting :han is currently ffijuired.
Early in t.l>e development stages, timekeepiog was Identified as an area which would
ffijuire further study befOre MDB could be s=ssfully implemented. In July i 993, 11>.

culminated a two year seuclt and was based O!I responses 10 I revised RFP ~ in fune
1991 •. Throop the extensive sym:m sele<:tioo process, staff became """vinced thot the
requ;red timekeeping capabilities were not inherent 10 any individual payrollibwnan
~ system. Consequently, the finaJ selection of. payroll/human resources system
was based 00 the system'. ability 10 meet the City', payroll and human resource needs;
staff would have 10 address the specilic: timekeeping needs separa!ely.
NEEDS ASSESSML'U

fur emplcyees 10 use. in order 10 red~ the administrative burden of the added level of
timekeeping cIcIaiL Also identified IS • critical compooenr was the proper inlerface
between the new timekeeping system and the City's financial dora base, 10 allow
inleractive a«oontnumber verification and ~iled blJdge\-to-actuaI reporting capabilities.
Througboul fiscal year 1993-94, discussions were beld .. ith each Cily depar!men; 10

weD as needs specUk 10 the individual departments. 1l>.roogh Ibis method of n<'eds
assessment, !be requirements of the s:~em were refined and C<l<l'.llloo needs were
identified.
Specific: requirements identified by the timekeeping suhcomrnittee and subsequent
departmental ,r.scussions included:
• E1e<:trooic timecard approval with appr<¥iate levels of security
• ElecIronic timecard submL<Sion with • user-friendly timecard entry screen

Instead of merely charging time 10 the responsible division. employees would be instructed
10 charge their labor boors ocwr<fmg 10 the various octivitie&lservices in whicb they
participaled. If reco<ding and reporting of timecard idoooafioo became 100 complex.
MDB inIOrmation (costs of services, utilization of resources, impact and other
eff«:tiveness measures lOr programs) woold be difficult 10 obtain and would no( be
reHab!e.
ALTERNATIVES
Staff looked inlo bit alternatives lOr • timekeeping system. The alternatives were: I)
alta: the curronl paper process I<> support MOB; 2) use the Law500 timekeeping modu:e;
3) deveklp" character based system; or 4) develop an oo-linc, Wmdows-based "»'\em.
The criteria staff nsed 10 eIilOluate the alternatives were whether the system met the needs
identifiod by the timekeeping subeommlttee, the cost of the system and the long-term
viability of the system.
Using the crilerla above, staff eliminated 0p6.>n i. because it did no( reoognize the
administrative burden of wHeeling infurmation al the higher level of detall required by
MDB and, !herelOre, was no( a long -tenn solution.

PROl'rniEJ) SOLUTION
In respoose 10 the principles prcscr\bed by MOB, and in c""junction with the key
requirements identified by the timekeeping subcoounittee, staff bas i>su..'d an RFP 10
develop an oo-line, Wllldows-based timekecpiIl& system. 100 ~Ilo"'ing dcs<:ribes the
proposed solution in 1enr.s 0( ..,ftware design, required infrastructure, I phased-in

Soha" Desiga
Since the inf<Jrnllltion derived 6-om Ihls system is valuable only if employees have
recorded their time accurately, stafrs proposal inoludes system features 10 facilitate ease
of use_ 100 proposed system needs 10 be user friendly. easily ac<:essible and allow each
employee'. time to be reported from various work locations "" • daily basis. ElectrocJc
entry and signature authorization wiD also make the timecard data collection process
efficient and reliable. AI the same time, payron cost delatl needs 10 be avallable on-line
10 progra.'" and project managers, so that MDB program budgets can be properly managed

timccanl informaOOo. and Ille ability 10 interface "'ilh ot1Jer key financial systems. The
system will include txlensive on-line belp. pop-up windows, printed refero~ IDlIlerials
and a COOIplete, wrltkn IutnrialAraining package. Such trai'ling aids wiD be critical 10
CDSun: famiruuily oC the sysv:m, and will reduce Ibc need for time-consuming pc:rsooaI

Particularly with the lISe of electrock signature ."tl"l<ization, whe!e the infonnatioo
entered inIo Ibc timekeeping system is Ibc sol. legal doc wnentalion for timecard
informatioc, there must be adequate audit tfIl!1s 10 ensure !hat the employee entered or

To provide required illfornuItion in b'le most effective manner, tile timekeeping system
must be wen integrated with Ibc City'. finaJICial data base, me new pa}roI1'buman

PlIued lmplemeltatioD
Due 10 ootwmi: and c:omputer Iwdware requirement5, !he nwnbcr of users that n«d to
be !rained on the new system, and I!!e nee<! 10 customize the timekeeping process within
each departmenI, staff is recommendL.g a phased-in implementation of !he system. A
preliminary schedule of this phased-in 8Woacb is included in Allachment 2.
A phased-in approach offers many benefits. As indicated in !he preliminary scbedule,
administrative departments wool<! begin \Ising "'" system in pbase I. All 0Iher
departments would continue 10 submit physiul timecards that would be entered into 1he
syst.em by the Finance Depilrt-<nen!. This approach w11l &!low staff 10 pilo! test Ill. »·st=
and make any necessary enhan<:ements ()[ aO.JUSIments. Adminlslrative departments were
selected fur this first phase, ~use they are, for !he most paot. equipped ,.ith the
_essary compuIer hardware and are more familiar with computer infotmatlon systems.
In addition, since these departments are located at City Hall. difficult te<:luUcal issues such
as network ~ are minimized. and system support is more readily accessible. Training
programs can be refined in this environment, where impact 10 the departmental oper&lklns
are kept w • minimum.
By pIlasing in the system, staff would be assured that the 8wopriate technical Lod
opera!ionaI support ,,,11 be available. This includes the physl<:al installation of the
remaining network C<XlIle<:tioru 10 link remote Cny facilities lOgether. It also will provide
programming staff the time 10 become familiar with the new payroDft.luman resources
syslem and the interf~ required for other systems, As new users are groduaIly added
10 the system,. the s=>rity estabf,sbed within each department and program area can be
aaJllSled ~mg 10 the n<:eds of the area. Most impoctantly, phased-in implementation
will allow staff 10 deal with the unique needs (timecard entry for field staff; ac~ 10
remote ~ e1<:.) of 1he departments on an indhidual basis.
If staff's proposal for the new timekeeping system and ",sociated funding is awoved by
Council. staff will complele fue sele<>tion of a consultantipr"grammer currently underway.
A ~tract fur finalizing the design and for programming services "'OIlid be presented for
Council's awov.1 00 Marcl! B, and staff would proceed 10 work with the selected
Pq. 10 nlll
