... TMS Disaster Recovery Plan
In the event of a disaster in which the Time Management System becomes non-functional [i.e.due to power outage, etc.]one of the following alternative options will be invoked:
- Assumes email is available - Submit exception hours only to Payroll using an Excel Spreadsheet. If this option is selected, an email with a blank formatted spreadsheet will be sent to all Timekeepers for use in submitting hours.
- Assumes email is not available - Fax or bring to Payroll a list with employee name, Employee ID number, earnings code and hours for each type of exception earnings worked in the period [Casual hours, overtime hours, shift differential hours and leave-without-pay hours].
- Assumes both email and fax are not available - Hold all exception hours for payment in a future period. An off-cycle check will be processed as soon as the system is available for employees with casual hours only and who do not have a regular assignment.
Please refer to this site for complete instructions regarding which option will be invoked during a disaster. Timekeepers will also be notified via email if it remains a viable method of communication.
