Comments
- QTR 1, Metric #3: POD did not meet this metric due to a mass processing in the Federal Personnel and Payroll System in pay period (PP) 2022-23 as a result of an identified issue related to a Corrected Time and Attendance (T&A) file issue that caused a delay in some corrected T&As not being processed in the PP the corrected files were submitted. The timeframe for corrected T&As having a delay in processing were PPs 2021-02 through 2022-22.
- QTR 1, Metric #12: The CSC metrics are performance targets and month to month and quarter to quarter performance outputs may be a little over or under that target depending on various operational factors. This quarter we did notice a slight decline due to staff shortages caused by the holiday leave schedule.
- QTR 1, Metric #24: POD did not meet this metric due to delays in receiving retirement packages timely from agencies Servicing Personnel Offices' (SPOs). We are working with those agencies in hopes of improving timely submissions.
