Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request by the Constable of Precinct 5 for approval to use surplus labor budget funds to pay for overtime hours worked to enter data into the Open Text system in order to create a digital database for personnel files.
end
Background and Discussion:
Current Harris County Personnel Policies and Procedures states compensatory time is earned for hours worked over 40. HRRM has stated Commissioner Court approval is required for Constable agencies to pay for overtime hours in lieu of compensatory time. Harris County is using the Open Text program to allow participating agencies to convert large personnel files into digital format. It is estimated that this process will take two to three months and this has been discussed with our OMB Portfolio Team.
Expected Impact:
Open Text will allow for the personnel and medical files to be queried easier and save a large amount of manhours that is currently being used to manually search through the paper files.
Alternative Options:
No other recommended solution.
Alignment with Goal(s):
