Managing to Payroll: An Evaluation of Local Activity Data Management

Abstract

This thesis evaluates particular problems in the effective implementation of Managing to Payroll at non-industrial Naval shore activities. These problems stem from the Navy's efforts to improve control over civilian labor costs. These efforts failed to address the specific mechanisms necessary for successful payroll budget execution at the activity level. Concurrent transformation in Department of the Navy accounting systems under the Integrated Disbursing and Accounting (IDA) concept may be adding to the problems associated with aspects of Managing to Payroll. The labor cost data management procedures at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Monterey were examined in detail. These procedures, developed locally, are designed to support compliance with the requirements of Managing to Payroll. An analysis of these procedures and the associated reporting functions form the core of this study. Recommendations to improve the existing data management system and reporting functions are included.
