Merit Appeals Board October 30, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, so that’s good. The 130,000 was also budgeted? <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yes. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Oh, okay, great. Okay. So that means that they worked out their plan <br />estimating how much time was going to be involved and overtime, so they had the dollar amount <br />in the budget. Okay, so that’s good. <br /> <br />So, can we just maybe modify the last sentence in the first paragraph? “The significant increase <br />reflects the challenges and efforts identified in response to question number 5 above”—or should <br />we just leave it like that? <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: I just added a couple of more words. I don’t know if the Board would want to <br />amend the sentence as follows, so I have, “The significant increase reflects the challenges and <br />efforts identified for all divisions of HR as documented in the response to question number 5 <br />above.” <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: —“…for all divisions of HR…”— <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: “…as documented in the response to question number 5 above.” <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, very good. “The significant increase reflects the challenges and <br />efforts identified for all divisions of HR as documented in the response to question number 5 <br />above.” Is everyone okay with that? <br /> <br />MS. BOND: (Inaudible.) <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Any suggestions? <br /> <br />MS. BOND: (Inaudible.) <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: We can— <br /> <br />MS. BOND: (Inaudible.) <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: I mean, we could say “…for all HR divisions.” <br /> <br />MS. BOND: Sorry, thank you. I would put that “…for all divisions of HR”—“This significant <br />increase for all divisions of HR reflects the challenges and efforts identified in the response to <br />the questions…”—it’s a syntax thing. It’s more than—you know what I’m saying? <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mm-hmm. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: I would just clarify, though, that not all divisions are earning overtime. <br />Page 26 <br /> <br /> <br />
