Commission hears delay in ADP payroll migration after matching glitches

The superintendent informed commissioners that the planned payroll changeover to ADP will be delayed because of data-matching glitches. "That was supposed to be put into place tomorrow, but we're putting that on hold till next month because there's a few glitches that need to be ironed out," the superintendent said, explaining staff need time to verify that ADP reproduces current payroll matches and tax reporting correctly.

Staff said ADP will begin taking data from Paychex and run test imports starting Oct. 6 to compare reports and ensure the new system produces accurate outputs before the switch. Commissioners agreed to delay the migration until reports verify correct tax and payroll matching to avoid downstream errors for employees and the utility.

No dollar amounts or contracts were changed at the meeting; staff will report back when test runs confirm readiness.
