Merit Appeals Board August 30, 2022 So, I'm sure the work is in good hands with Dee Sadayasu there. She's really meticulous in her work and training the staff. MR. LEOPOLDINO: And we're very fortunate—in addition to Dee, our new staff—same mindset—very meticulous, very detailed oriented—so that helps her out a lot. MS. MATHEWS: So, thank you, that makes me feel a little bit better. What's the projected date, so—and what do you think is a realistic date for the implementation? MR. LEOPOLDINO: Of the pay increases? MS. MATHEWS: No. Your new software that's supposed to make life easier. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Actually, that's a fin that would be a finance directed project. So, we would have to follow-up with finance on that. MS. MATHEWS: So, in other words, you have no clue when this is going to happen. MR. LEOPOLDINO: No, I don't. MS. MATHEWS: I'm sorry. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Thank you. CHR. CABANAS: Requests for Proposals—it has to go out to bid. It's a long process because then different vendors can submit their proposals, but then they have to—finance and HR have to spell out—for the lack of a better word—what system criteria will—what they would want in the system. So, they have to be specific, too, in what they want. MS. MATHEWS: So, I'm assuming there's a vetting process that will involve some members of you folks and you can see if it actually works before anything is solidified? MR. LEOPOLDINO: Absolutely. So, DeeDeeAnn, is the lead and contact for our office. She's the one that has all that information that we're going to need. And she's been coordinating with the rest of the division heads to see what kind of data they would like to see in the new system. So—yes. CHR. CABANAS: So, here we're talking about the new system—so this would encompass the recruitment function? MR. LEOPOLDINO: No, it will not. CHR. CABANAS: Oh, so the recruitment function will still be with NeoGov. Page 11
