Comments:

  • Metrics 10, 11 & 13, Qtr 1 & Q2: Phone metrics at this time are unavailable due to the pandemic.
  • Metric 23, Qtr 1: This metric was not met because there were a few agencies that did not provide complete retirement packages timely in December 2021.
  • Metric 1 & 2, Qtr 2: there were no new federal pay and personnel regulatory requirements to implement in the 2nd quarter.
  • Metric 23, Qtr 3: This metric was not met because the Payroll Operations Division (POD) continues to have agencies' Servicing Personnel Offices (SPOs) fail to provide complete retirement packages timely. As a result, POD will be engaging with these agencies'/bureaus' Human Resources Officers.
  • Metric 23, Qtr 4: POD did not meet the Retirement submissions to OPM metric because we continue to struggle to have agencies Servicing Personnel Offices' (SPOs) provide retirement packages timely. We are working with those agencies in hopes of improving timely submissions.

Comments:

  • Metric 2, Qtr 3: Metric exceeded 9 days due to unexpected departure of servicing staff, overall staffing shortage in the Branch and Division to support the work, and surge hiring activity across the client base that limited ability to workload balance.

Comments:

  • Metric 7, Qtr 3: This metric was not met due to a personnel shortage and vacancies. SDATD continues to back fill vacancies and implement strategies to address current issues.
  • Metric 8, Qtr 4: The metric was missed by .04. There was an increase in specimens with Abnormal pHs (pH is one of the biomarkers used to confirm the specimen is human urine) and wrong Custody and Control Forms used. Q4 saw the highest amount of collections in FY22, with many customers sending donors to collection sites; it is possible that these sites hadn't done a large amount of testing during the pandemic and thus mistakes occurred more easily with incorrect CCFs. Additionally, with specimens being transported in warm/hot conditions during these months, it contributes to the Abnormal pH determinations (see Cook J. D., et al. (2007). Urine pH: the effects of time and temperature after collection. J. Anal. Toxicol., 31, 486-496.)
