What staff presented

Personnel analyst Melissa Hamamoto told the committee, \"As of Tuesday, March 11, the dashboard is now available to the public.\" The dashboard draws data from the department’s candidate-relationship management system and Workday and is updated weekly (staff said they plan nightly updates once automation is complete).

The dashboard content and what it shows

Hamamoto and LAPD presenters walked members through tiles that show applications by fiscal year, step‑by‑step counts for assessments and hiring milestones, hires versus separations, geographic origin of applicants, and test‑stage metrics (application, reading & writing assessment, personal history statement, interview, polygraph, medical, physical fitness, background/field investigation and psychological review).

Key figures staff cited

Personnel said the executive summary tile shows 11,158 total applications since fiscal year 2022–23 and 9,489 applications in the most recent fiscal year window they demonstrated. Staff reported 4,200 candidates took the reading/writing assessment in the recent year and about 2,300 submitted personal history statements. For medical evaluations, personnel said the dashboard recorded more than 6,600 medical appointments scheduled and noted high no‑show and cancellation counts (567 no‑shows and 95 cancellations cited for one period). The hires tile showed 1,147 hires since fiscal year 2022–23; separation data from Workday showed roughly 1,500 sworn separations for the same window, with 263 classified as police officer separations and 155 of those separating within six months.

What the dashboard helped identify

LAPD and personnel staff said the dashboard makes attrition and process drop‑off points visible. Deputy Chief Mark Greeno and Captain Nicole Offenberg described the dashboard as a tool to set improvement targets: the department can use median and average-days metrics to set goals for investigators, polygraph appointments and medical scheduling. LAPD said changes already made — including tighter scheduling rules for polygraph appointments and increased background-investigation staffing — have reduced wait times.

Action taken and next steps

Committee Chair Tim McOsker moved that the committee adopt the motion and directed Personnel to report quarterly on the dashboard’s progress and trends; LAPD and Personnel agreed to present on future reports when requested. The committee voted, by roll call, to adopt the motion and note and file the report.

Ending

Members said they will use the dashboard to track whether reforms reduce candidate no‑shows and drop‑offs, shorten the time from application to hire, and help the city better match hiring pace to separations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Personnel and Hiring Committee - 3/14/25","oneSentenceSummary","Personnel and LAPD staff showed a new public dashboard tracking LAPD sworn hiring metrics, including applications, tests, polygraph/medical appointments, hires and separations; the committee voted to note and file the report, adopt the underlying motion, and directed quarterly progress reports on the dashboard.","taxTitle","Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",4025,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6635216,"Personnel department reports increased training use; Cornerstone completions and supervisory training rose",339,2159000,2498000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2645657-438b925dc36bd47f71e0a31189cb2787&start=2159&end=2498","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2645657-438b925dc36bd47f71e0a31189cb2787/thumbnail_2159000.jpg","/articles/6635216/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Personnel-department-reports-increased-training-use-Cornerstone-completions-and-supervisory-training-rose","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635216-f4c72deb381cec19e8606088faeb6019/orig.mp4?Expires=1771208629&Signature=octdkBmANT6XwmZ~eZI3sDtNQ1M1q-D6UV60QZ4vuUk6hAvlwZdJEYaZ-UwmXeJHZSN6c91Sbed1xmADzJH~frx2OBZXLYfaJ-E1WH10z6GjGgBoEdoz~5VCciVxH5ARNSmnzVIJbuwrEZzzKWpNqnDJ0uIiZa19owjbcnZ85l9vnQ1SYt1TCqj~-zjYdU6Isvu-8AAbjYWmJAqcC~9pqaVEeBwoF8e7ioe-e9AMXoFQ9TvvbcUv3fjyaOOg0H6W68mKAT2KQu~a2bNp20jf7M1~hh2Dm6Q5X22X74qAkEX7gf0fzKhX2CxFqNPCTI36e2~HlOnR0RK2B2aXNEMX~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Personnel Department reported to the committee on March 11 that citywide training activity increased in fiscal year 2023–24.

Why it matters: Personnel said expanded online training availability and targeted programs aim to boost supervisory capacity and job-related skills across city departments.

Key figures and programs

Personnel staff reported 71,517 citywide mandated-course completions and 36,101 non-mandatory completions in Cornerstone during the reporting period. The department also recorded 7,618 courses completed on the platform during the year and said non-mandatory completions rose over the prior period.

Personnel highlighted core supervisory training, which had 558 supervisors complete the program during the year, and partnership work with Council District 6 on the Women’s Management Academy, which ran additional cohorts with 37 and 35 graduates for two cohorts and a fourth cohort underway.

Personnel described program outreach and tracking

Personnel said it relies on departmental training coordinators, monthly newsletters and coordinator trainings to encourage completion of mandatory courses and that many mandatory trainings follow statutory or policy cycles (some annually, some every two years). The department said it does not currently track long-term career outcomes for leadership program participants beyond participant counts and satisfaction feedback.

Action taken

Committee members moved to note and file the personnel report.

Ending

Members asked personnel to continue coordinating with Council District 6 on leadership programming and to provide further data in future reporting periods on training impact and metrics.","The Personnel Department told the committee that course completions increased this fiscal year on the Cornerstone training platform, reporting more mandated and non-mandated training completions and continued supervisory and leadership programs.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6635220,"CAO says prioritized critical hiring will remain through budget review; summer program hires favored",547,1586000,2133000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2645657-438b925dc36bd47f71e0a31189cb2787&start=1586&end=2133","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2645657-438b925dc36bd47f71e0a31189cb2787/thumbnail_1586000.jpg","/articles/6635220/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/CAO-says-prioritized-critical-hiring-will-remain-through-budget-review-summer-program-hires-favored","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635220-0d3a418de2eaec2b95a49da4a83ae363/orig.mp4?Expires=1771208629&Signature=MZFrGss2Uu0N--~J5-TLLa39BYpqQQax1KG7NkOPHM0v8bKCMPFbgHaQeW1K8iel5y1lWv9BZp5SXYeTT5n5wt3HDNYRNJn3BB9FOoi4IBjTCpd~1mDhm3GnbHc5YFeOsLglbQ-cRW5YXl89Q-wRvj947qOANgqiCoCPhxzP8D0QYE~DNyGpRdymUu12myqiMwUjjNhFZn~LN8HZrYXXK6O2WpFa1OMoNYiJXtbft1kgWnN4MausExoIRYwjAlEfYONOyU6wj9-ZqKUjT6bOdyr0tf4ZMlKsucvMVy43oEwRrBvHFstA8YhPyHSjAhe3f5CvRGoc5xCFSHtrzxyKXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Administrative Officer told the Personnel Committee on March 11 that the city will keep prioritized critical hiring (PCH) in place for the rest of the fiscal year while the mayor’s proposed budget and revenue shortfalls are evaluated.

Why it matters: The CAO advised that the city faces a sizable fiscal gap in the current year and a recent revenue report that showed revenue shortfalls. Committee members asked how PCH will be applied to departments seeking to fill positions for summer programs and public safety.

CAO overview

Ben Seha of the CAO said PCH will not be \"going away in the current fiscal year\" because the city’s most recent financial status and revenue reports show a significant shortfall. \"Given those two, kind of massive issues for us remaining in the current fiscal year, what I want to make sure I send out to departments and to the council is that PCH will not be going away in the current fiscal year,\" Seha said.

Which hires will be prioritized

Seha told members the committee will prioritize public safety positions, roles needed for fire recovery, and hires to support established summer programs. He said some promotions for incumbents will continue to be approved because they do not represent net new headcount in many cases.

Staff and committee perspective

Committee members said they understood the financial constraints but asked the CAO to ensure summer recreation and cultural programs can staff appropriately as the season approaches. The CAO said many summer program requests were just arriving and would be considered \"favorably\" when they are established programs.

Action taken

The committee voted to note and file the CAO’s report. Committee members emphasized that PCH remains active and that upcoming mayoral budget proposals will inform any further actions.

Ending

Members said they will monitor the mayor’s proposed budget and that the committee will be selective about approvals for the remainder of the fiscal year, with an emphasis on public safety and summer program continuity.","The City Administrative Officer told the Personnel Committee that prioritized critical hiring (PCH) will not be lifted for the remainder of the fiscal year while staff assess a substantial budget gap; departments seeking hires for public safety, fire recovery and summer programs will be prioritized.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6635224,"Committee hears ITA/Workday analysis on LAFD payroll; officials recommend consolidating HR into Workday",1077,492000,1569000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2645657-438b925dc36bd47f71e0a31189cb2787&start=492&end=1569","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2645657-438b925dc36bd47f71e0a31189cb2787/thumbnail_492000.jpg","/articles/6635224/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Committee-hears-ITAWorkday-analysis-on-LAFD-payroll-officials-recommend-consolidating-HR-into-Workday","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635224-7364a30b23baa9e4c98f159fdb800d55/orig.mp4?Expires=1771208629&Signature=cm4VX7P~obmeN3tFMkPbBI1H0JyCpj4WKkowWZAzbp6TaslDfTh89l616Mm-qPARVEZKmpLNORYT522qYmBaCih2TGIqYxKDGL1HHInApMksIePKoGfeh0blBP14Jf~cnOX1~ji-a~nSdjB6toOs9lWDlF3iKjAwzruawkcM7bEuXe3Op4OG-pnLqYdnj8FsKjK535a8vbo46DpNs9bNQYJBXoJPLNXliIEqu9RQg905aKLjAy1gDE0p22wsc6HuCC8MmALkvX29jl4zsru-NgvMbemYsXDlSjVU1FrbhEj-WSsK5lPfoQ2kUfvCINsxrMmc9SKjMnqu9R0cTutpKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Los Angeles City Councilmembers on the Personnel Committee were presented with a technical review on March 11 of payroll issues affecting the Los Angeles Fire Department tied to the city’s Workday payroll implementation.

The Information Technology Agency (ITA) summarized a report done with LAFD and Workday showing that payroll problems stem in part from data split across multiple systems, including a legacy network scheduling system (NSS). \"The recommendation is to have HR data that is currently managed, some in Workday and some in NSS or other HR systems in the fire department, to really consolidate all HR functions in Workday as the master or system of record,\" ITA project lead Ed Magos said.

Why it matters: Committee members and department staff said incorrect paychecks have affected LAFD employees for months and that the city needs both near-term fixes and a long-term architecture that prevents recurring errors.

Details of the analysis and next steps

Magos told the committee that the report identifies root causes tied to NSS’s lack of real-time validation with Workday and recommended moving time-tracking and absence management into Workday so balances and approvals appear immediately rather than requiring retroactive corrections.

Sam Ynajosa, LAFD chief information officer, said LAFD and ITA agree NSS is dated but they want a direct comparison of what Workday can do versus a third-party scheduling/timekeeping product before committing. \"We are still pushing for a head to head comparison between what Workday can actually do and what a third party solution can actually do given scenarios to both sides in seeing what performs best for LAFD's needs,\" Ynajosa said.

Cost and schedule estimates

Workday told the committee it needs roughly four weeks to create a proper cost estimate for migrating additional functions, with an implementation window of about six to eight months once scoped. LAFD said a third-party replacement, if selected, could take nine to 12 months from contract signing to full implementation. ITA provided a high-level ballpark previously in materials of about $1,500,000 for related budget requests.

Short-, mid- and long-term approach

Committee members pressed staff to keep employees’ immediate paychecks the priority. ITA and the controller’s office described a three-pronged approach: immediate fixes already in progress to reduce errors, midterm operational and staffing steps, and a structural technology change to eliminate the recurring mismatches between systems. \"Some of the areas ... the Tiger team and the work that's being done right now is fixing even current issues between NSS and Workday to have cleaner payroll,\" Magos said.

Action taken

Committee Chair Tim McOsker moved and members approved continuing the item and directed ITA, the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and LAFD to report back on the fiscal impacts of the ITA recommendations and whether any recommended work should have been covered under the original Workday contract. A roll call was taken and the motion passed with recorded \"yes\" votes from councilmembers present.

What remains unanswered

Officials agreed on the need to replace or significantly re-architect NSS and to run a vendor \"bake-off\" to test Workday against third-party options in LAFD-specific scenarios. Staff said a more precise estimate of costs and a final recommendation will require the additional scoping work the committee requested.

Ending

Committee members emphasized urgency for short-term fixes while requesting a clear fiscal analysis and timeline for any larger technology replacement. The item will return after ITA, CAO and LAFD complete the requested fiscal-impact report.","City technology and fire officials told the Personnel Committee that fractured HR systems are driving payroll errors for the Los Angeles Fire Department and recommended consolidating HR and timekeeping in Workday; a brief, immediate fixes and a longer-term ‘bake-off’ of third-party vendors were also discussed.","actionData","errors"]
