Time/Leave Collection and Labor Distribution Systems Survey Results

August 8, 2008 - A recent survey of state agencies revealed a clearer picture of current and planned investments in time/leave collection and labor distribution systems.

In June, Roadmap Program staff invited agency fiscal officers, payroll officers, CIO's and Roadmap agency advisory group members to complete the survey, which yielded 102 responses from 68 agencies. The intent of the survey was to gather data about agencies’ investments in these systems and their need for an enterprise time/leave and/or labor distribution solution. The survey also asked agencies about current activities supporting internal time/leave and labor systems; and future plans to purchase, develop or acquire new time/leave and labor distribution systems to meet their business needs. Information from the survey will prove useful in getting to a decision on the recommended approach and sequence for completing and modernizing WA State’s core financial systems.   
Survey results indicate that 42 agencies reported using some form of internal time and leave collection system, and 21 agencies are using some form of internal labor distribution system. Eighteen agencies said they are working on internal time/leave and/or labor distribution projects this biennium. Many agencies demonstrated a need for both a time/leave collection and labor distribution system and are interested in partnering on an enterprise solution.
