energy, the City needs to utilize a number of sophisticated
tools to optimize the excess energy
•A 3rd party portfolio manager will bring more resources
and expertise than an internal strategy could provide
•The City is currently working through an RFP for these
services and recommendations will be brought to the City
Council at your July meetings
Page 53 of 117
Electric Resource Management
Assessment -Restructure
•GM and Deputy GM of Utilities retiring

policy

P resentation and discussion of the Workday P roject and discussion of payroll process changes -- Leigh Wallace, Finance
Director
I T EM S UMMARY:
The Workday P roject is the City’s Enterprise Resource P lanning software system replacement. The presentation includes
a status update on the overall project.
Human Resources and Finance are committed to reviewing and updating all business practices during the conversion to
the Workday ERP software system. One of the most important and impactful changes will be to the payroll process.
The project team is changing the business process so that the City can move away from the P ay Current process and use
the P ay Arrears process. P ay Arrears is a common best practice for payroll in both the private and public sector and
Workday is already pre-configured to assume a P ay Arrears process.
This change is complex and impacts all City employees. Therefore, the project team has already and will continue to
conduct extensive information and feedback cycles with employees on this topic.
This presentation will cover the mechanics of the change and options for handling the financial impact to the City.

Why Workday
Business Value
•“Business value comes from changes in
business performance and improved business
outcomes.” –Gartner, Inc. 2016
•Yet, 70% of ERP projects fail to derive value:
3
•Must effectively compete with
“Best of Breed” movement
•The system does not meet
business expectations and is not
fully leveraged
•Organizations do not achieve
consensus on the system
✓Highly ranked and competitive
product in the ERP industry
✓High user approval
✓Consensus from diverse
stakeholders

Payroll Best Practices
15Page 76 of 117
Why Change?
•Human Resources and Finance are reviewing business
processes to align with industry best practices
–Commitment to City core values of trust and professionalism
–Transparency to employees and public
–Consistent with HR and Finance mission statements
•New software implementation is providing us a tool to
change our manual and outdated processes
•One of the major changes that needs to take place is a
change to payroll
→Seeking Council feedback today on the financial and
administrative impact
Page 77 of 117
What happens today?
•Under today’s process called Pay Current:
every employee receives an estimate of pay →then enters
time worked →and then it reconciles in the next pay cycle
along with overtime and leave accruals
•When the employee terminates, he or she pays the
most recent estimate back to the City
•This is confusing to employees and a lot of work for
payroll
•The City is moving from Pay Current to a process
called Pay Arrears: employees work →enter time →
and then are paid
Page 78 of 117
Page 79 of 117
Page 80 of 117
What is Changing?
•Starting Feb 1, 2019, all new employees are paid in
arrears
•The first payroll occurring in October 2019 (Fiscal
Year 2020) will move all other existing employees
into arrears
•To avoid interruption of paychecks, there is a week of
overlap in time entered and paid in Sept of 2019 (the
last week in Incode and the first week in Workday)
•This overlap week will be treated as an advance in
pay to all employees who started prior to Feb 1, 2019
Page 81 of 117
What is Not Changing?
•All employees continue to be paid on bi-weekly
pay cycle (26 pay periods per year) –no
interruption to paychecks for employees
•All employees who started prior to Feb 1, 2019,
will pay back the advance
•All employees who started on Feb 1, 2019 or
later will experience no overlap or advance,
they are already on arrears
Page 82 of 117
What’s in it for employees?
•Paychecks will be easier to understand because
they reflect most recent time worked/entered
•There will be no interruption in paychecks
•The pay back of the advance will be locked in
at the pay rate in 2019 (instead of escalating
with new pay rates)

The Overlap Week
Page 85 of 117
Overlap Week Explained
•Pay checks continue every two weeks (6th, 20th,
4th)
•First green week –employee enters real time
worked; time entry date moves up one week
•Second green week (overlap with first blue week)
–Payroll advances an estimate to employee
•Blue weeks –employee enters real time worked
into Workday; enters time on new arrears
schedule; paid in arrears

•Overlap week shown as an advance
•Does not affect benefit deductions
•Gross and net pay are the same

Non-Exempt Employee FT
Overlap week –First paycheck in
Workday pay date 10/4

•Employee enters real time worked/used for overlap week of 9/16 thru 9/22
•Gross and net pay are the same if time worked = time advanced exactly
•Gross and net pay could be different if actual time worked differs from estimate
Page 89 of 117
Financial Impact to City
•City does not currently book payable or
receivable since estimate and reconciliation
occurs every two weeks
•The final advance paid at the end of FY2019
has an impact of approximately $900,000
across all City funds
•The City would offset this payable with a
receivable on the fund balance sheets
29Page 90 of 117
Financial Impact to City Cont’d
•Receivable reduced as employees pay back the
advance at termination
•To reduce administrative burden over a long time
period (until the last person terminates), staff
recommend the City consider options to reduce
the advance over 3 to 5 budget years
–Employees who leave during the reduction period will
have what they owe adjusted proportionately
–Employees who stay past the reduction period will
have a regular final pay check
30Page 91 of 117
GGAF Feedback
•Board recommended reducing long-term
receivable with a defined shorter time period
–Option 1: City covers the $900,000 for employees
through the overall comp and benefits package
during budget development each year, over three
to five years
–Option 2: Employees pay it back sooner, over three
to five years
31Page 92 of 117
Staff Recommendation
Concerns with Option 1:
•$900,000 too much for City to absorb on
its own
•Every budget year has different challenges
•Using other employee compensation for
repayment may feel like we are docking
pay for employees
32Page 93 of 117
Staff Recommendation
Option 2: Employees pay it back sooner by
choosing from below
→Employee refuses advance on final Incode
paycheck (paid back “immediately” = smaller
paycheck)
OR
→Define method and time period: 5 years
(24pp X 5 = 120pp) deducted in equal amounts
33Page 94 of 117
Staff Recommendation
Option 2: Impact per pay period
