Merit Appeals Board October 30, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Correct. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yeah. So, I’m just clarifying that the majority of the overtime expenses have <br />been related to the CoHnect project. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: So, if that’s—if you find that confusing, the last paragraph under Number 4, <br />could be removed if it causes more questions than answers. You could actually add the—“HR <br />has changed its recruitment efforts to a more active strategy”—you could make that the last <br />sentence of the prior paragraph, and then not get into the rest of it. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: That is okay. It’s the—“This results in overtime for staff”—do we need that <br />then? <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: No. I don’t— <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Could we just say that— <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: I think that that sentence could be removed. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: I mean, the sentence, in itself, is okay. It’s the “overtime for staff” because <br />if you look at the next item, the next page, it makes it sound—‘cause it says, “The significant <br />increase reflects the challenges and efforts identified in response to Question number 5”—but <br />Question number 5 is quite a bit of the divisions, but it sounds like it’s Recruitment. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yeah, I can understand where you would draw that conclusion, since— <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: (Inaudible) add wording in Number 6, “The significant increase reflects the <br />challenges and efforts identified for the various divisions identified in number 5 above”— <br />something like that. Because, yes, they have been participating more on the weekends at <br />different career fairs, so I know you want to state that they’ve been more active—yeah, I get it. <br />They’ve been more active going to more career fairs, but that dollar amount for overtime is not <br />only Recruitment—it’s Number 1, 2, 3, 4—listed in Number 5. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: It might be— <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Actually, if you—I don’t want to tell you what to do but—and when I read <br />this, if the Admin. Services staff are working hours and hours, which I’m pretty sure they’re <br />doing as you said—that should be reflected. They need to know that—hey, they’re putting heart <br />st <br />and soul in getting this HR module up to go live January 1, 2026—and this is going to be public <br />record, right, J? <br /> <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Yes. <br /> <br />Page 24 <br /> <br /> <br />
