Explanation
Nicholas Sanna should be reimbursed $345.00; Joshua Schenker should be reimbursed $271.62; and, Olivia Risner should be reimbursed $362.25 for a total of $978.87. There was a combined total of $258.90 in benefits for these employees bringing total to $1237.77. Mr. Sanna and Mr. Schenker were hired as 480-hour temporary employees, and worked more than 480 hours. Olivia Risner was inadvertently scheduled to work after she had been terminated: she applied for a PERS refund shortly before summer season, and had not yet been deleted from the payroll report when she was recalled for summer 2011. She was then deleted from payroll, which was not discovered until she submitted a time sheet for the first pay period she worked. CRPD has a moral obligation to pay Mr. Sanna, Ms. Risner and Joshua Schenker for the hours they worked.
Fiscal Impact:
Total gross pay due for these three staff is $978.87. A total of $258.90 in other city costs are included below for Pension Pick-up, Pension City Share, City Share Medicare and Workers Compensation, respectively for a total of $1237.77.
Emergency Justification: CRPD needs to meet this obligation as soon as possible, since there has already been considerable delay in paying these former employees.
