Continuous Improvement Sterring Committee Meeting- Nov 09 2026

The Continuous Improvement Steering Committee meeting on November 9, 2026, reviewed the rollout of the county’s workforce management (WFM) system and its effects on payroll. Staff reported data-validation and configuration issues, incorrect time-off and overtime codes, lunch deductions, and gaps in reconciliation between WFM and Oracle Fusion. They estimated that roughly 1–2% of employees were affected, with supplemental payments and system corrections underway. The committee discussed manager training, clearer and more targeted payroll communications, daily exception reports, safeguards against incorrect leave use, and promoting the 7,000 purchased employee-app licenses. No procurement vote or contract award was reported; staff planned to work with consultants on system corrections.

The committee also considered CourtCall video arraignment technology for municipalities. The presentation described estimated technology costs, including a $7,200 annual cost per agency and separate monthly device and license charges, but magistrate and processing costs were not yet calculated. Members requested a fuller cost and workflow analysis—including staffing, records preparation, and potential jail-transport savings—before presenting the proposal to the Commissioners Court; no purchase or pilot was approved. A proposed parental and family leave policy, offering up to eight weeks at full pay, was also discussed for possible consideration in the next fiscal year, with no decision or spending authorization recorded.
