There was an email from HR that said there were around a thousand mistakes to dependent birthdays that resulted in those people not being able to use the benefits for a couple weeks. A lot of people also had the wrong ESP amounts deducted. So basic math suggests there were at least a thousand people impacted by mistakes for benefits and pay with those two issues alone. Minor? Maybe. If you are implementing a pay and benefits system and you mess both up, it makes me wonder what a major issue would be. Missing phone numbers for the thousands of people who have extensions sounds like a pretty stupid biff. Anyway, keep celebrating your successful project, none of us care - it's just hilarious....especially with a spin-doctor of Beauty & the Beast fame at the helm of this project...what a joke HR is.
