Committee recommends financing to finish Workday (human capital management) project implementation
Summary
The committee approved a revolving loan appropriation to complete stabilization and closeout of the city's Workday human capital management system implementation, focusing on payroll stabilization, departmental timekeeping integration and staff training.
The Select Budget Committee recommended Council Bill 121033, an interfund loan and appropriation to complete and stabilize the city’s human-capital-management-system (Workday) implementation.
Background and need: Committee members were updated that the Workday implementation — the city’s first comprehensive human-capital-management-system overhaul in decades — has completed major milestones, including shifting biweekly payroll on to the new system. The loan will pay for stabilization work, interoperability with departmental timekeeping and additional training and support for HR and payroll staff as departments finalize their operational integration.
Financial mechanics: The request is structured as a revolving interfund loan that increases the project cap and appropriates the funds. Central staff and the finance director described the loan as short‑term and repayable; past revolving-loan practice and the city’s budget plan indicate available repayment sources.
Vote and next steps: The committee recommended passage of the ordinance to full council; departments were asked to continue cross‑department coordination, finalize payroll/timekeeping cutovers and provide a closeout plan and repayment schedule to the Budget Office.
