Summary
Socorro’s civil service commission approved revisions to CO1 that formalize a 5-minute grace period, expand Paycom-based clock-in options for city-issued phones, establish missed-punch reporting and clarify on-call pay (one hour weekday pay, two hours weekend pay).
Socorro, N.M. — The Socorro City Civil Service Commission approved revisions to CO1 (time and attendance) on Nov. 24, implementing updates tied to the city’s new payroll software and clarifying on-call and missed-punch procedures.
HR Director Carol Gandelotti said the update formalizes a previously practiced five-minute grace period and clarifies call-in requirements, documentation expectations (including doctor’s notes before and after holidays) and options for employees to use city-issued cell phones to punch in. “With the implementation of our new payroll software program ... we have the flexibility if they have a city cell issued city cell phone that they can punch in and punch out,” she said, noting each user must use their own login credentials.
Gandelotti explained the system (Paycom) includes a missed-punch feature for employees directed to go straight to a job site and that if the system goes down staff will file a missed-punch report as a manual fallback. She also outlined the on-call pay structure: one hour guaranteed pay when on call during the week and two hours guaranteed on weekends, with paid overtime if an employee is called in and works beyond the on-call period.
Commissioners asked about practical matters for field crews and shared devices; Gandelotti reiterated that unique logins are required and supervisors should be contacted to reconcile exceptions. The commission voted to approve the CO1 updates as presented.
