Dept. of Consumer Protection, or EMPLOYEE Protection?
Wednesday November 121, 2008
State auditors today ripped the facade off the vaunted state Department of Consumer Protection. First, the auditors found that receipts, both mailed-in and so-called walk-ins, have not been deposited within 24 hours, as required by law.
Next, the auditors found that civil penalties totaling $538,000, were not put into the department's accounts-receivable records.because of "internal control weaknesses" in the DCP legal department.
"The department agrees with the auditors' findings in this regard and has taken steps to implement this recommendation," the DCP responded.
The Blogster's favorite, though, was the finding that a probe into timesheets indicated "numerous" occasions when supervisors did not sign off work records until "well" after a pay period.
"The timeframe in which both the employee and the supervisor signed the official timesheet ranged from eight to 80 days after the completion of the biweekly pay period," the audit report says, adding that they couldn't determine why.
The DCP plans to implement a new centralized time and attendance system.
