Board approves $43,200 PeopleSoft amendment to track expanded leave rights

The Kings County Board of Supervisors approved a second amendment to the county's master services agreement with CherryRoad Technologies on Jan. 13 to modify the PeopleSoft time‑reporting system. John Devlin, Information Technology, told the board the one‑time amendment would cost $43,200 and is funded in Human Resources FY 25/26 (budget unit 14000). The change was requested to accommodate recent expansions to the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) and Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), which broaden eligible family member definitions and increase the permutations of leave types the system must track.

Devlin said HR and Finance met with CherryRoad and recommended a streamlined workflow that reduces the number of time‑reporting codes employees must select, minimizes payroll and HR adjustments, and improves auditability and compliance. The board was told the amendment is retroactive because of internal review timing and the provider's work to implement county‑directed changes.

A motion to approve the amendment was made, and the clerk called roll; the amendment was recorded as approved during the Jan. 13 meeting. County counsel reviewed the amendment as to form. John Devlin and Carolyn (last name not specified in the record) were present to answer questions.
