Corrective Action Plan

MMUUSD Preliminary Corrective Action Plan (Concerning Finding 2024‐001; Activities Allowed and Allowable Costs) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Nicole Fortier, Director of Finance and Operations Corrective Action: During our audit there was one instance identified where MMUUSD overpaid an employee under the Food Service program at a rate of pay different than the stated rate for a Food Service Substitute. To be more specific, the Food Service substitute rate was transposed and the employee was paid $16.62 ($0.10 more) instead of the stated substitute rate of $16.52. The first step in our corrective action plan was a review with our Senior Payroll Specialist of the error, and to reiterate the importance of verifying the correct hourly rate being input for our substitutes. This step has already been completed. Additionally, we are in the process of implementing a more thorough payroll review process, which will include a preliminary review by Christal Clark, Accountant in the Business Office. Given that the payment of substitutes is such a manual process and we cannot utilize our employee timesheet software for paying them, we will also perform periodic reviews of all substitute payments to verify that the rate of pay is in line with the Sub Pay agreement for that respective Fiscal Year. If any discrepancies are noted, the employees will be made whole ASAP. We are currently performing periodic reviews of all substitute payments to verify the correct rate of pay is being used as of January 2025. We are in the process still of developing a payroll review process that works for us and is efficient. With Christal Clark being more involved in the payroll process on a biweekly basis, we are assessing whether this should be a post‐payroll review or mid‐payroll review. Anticipated Completion Date: 07/01/2025

Corrective Action Plan

Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Nicole Fortier, Director of Finance and Operations Corrective Action: During our audit it was identified that MMUUSD overpaid an employee for four charges under the Food Service program and charged the work to the program that was not specific to Food Service. To be more specific, Food Service subs were paid at a higher rate ($.50 higher) than the stated rate for a Food Service substitute. Additionally, there were instances noted where a maintenance substitute was charged to a Food Service budget unit. The first step in our corrective action plan was a review with our Senior Payment Specialist of the importance of slowing down and verifying the correct hourly rate being input for our substitutes. This step has already been completed. Additionally, we are in the process of implementing a more thorough payroll review process, which will include a preliminary review by Christal Clark, Accountant in the Business Office. Once Christal has completed her review, this will go to Nicole Fortier, Director of Finance for a final, high‐level review and sign off. We are hopeful to begin the process at the end of FY24, with full implementation in FY25. Anticipated Completion Date: 7/01/2024
