1.  Requirement Description

Describe the requirement (gap). Include a description of the delivered PeopleSoft functionality.

Currently the central payroll specialist and the agency payroll specialist receive inquiries from a number of different sources mainly in the form of served subpoenas requesting detailed employee information regarding earnings, taxes, deductions and net pay per pay period. These reports are typically used to determine support payments and other garnishments required by various authorities. PeopleSoft currently delivers on a quarterly basis an earnings summary record for all employees.

2.  Business Need

Provide a justification for the requirement. Include information about frequency, volume, number of users impacted, etc.

Approximately 150 subpoenas are served on the State per year and 10 requests weekly from agency payroll as well as central payroll requesting copies of detailed employee earnings information for current as well as prior year earnings on a ‘from’ check date ‘to’ check date basis.

6.  Explanation for Recommendation

Provide reasons for recommendation. Please do not re-state the description of the solution itself.

The State of Connecticut is required to follow court orders in subpoena form to produce a report detailing an employee’s earnings, deductions and taxes. There is no delivered report that can produce the detail required by the necessary parameters. Based on the frequency of the requirement, the process solution would require a great deal of human effort to provide the proper information to the requesting authority.
