Task force flags payroll-report limits; asks presenter to estimate part-time hours
Summary
Members learned the county payroll produces gross-pay totals that do not separate part-time hours or overtime; they asked the presenter to attempt an hours-based FTE estimate using department reports or gross-pay division and return with follow-up.
Committee members asked how many total hours the county pays for and whether the presenter’s figures were 'actuals' or budgeted amounts. Brian (S4) replied that the payroll system provides gross pay (monthly payroll cited at about $510,000) but does not reliably separate part-time hours, overtime and full-time pay into a single report. "It's just the gross pay, which includes all part time and full time pay," he said.
Members discussed possible approaches: obtain department-level timekeeping where available (the sheriff's office uses separate timekeeping software), ask department heads for estimates, or use gross payroll division to approximate hours. Brian agreed to attempt the conversion and to return with an estimate of total county hours paid, acknowledging the method will include assumptions and may not be a perfect apples-to-apples historical comparison.
