KU's withdrawal symptoms stem from less KIPPS usage
By MARY CARTER Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas is suffering some withdrawal symptoms after decreasing its use of the Kansas Integrated Personnel Payroll System of the University Sonate Executive Committee told SenEx yesterday.
The change in the system, Arno Knapper, the chairman, said, "is
showing some withdrawal symptoms in terms of costs and delays in implementing alternative retirement programs."
"The administration is appealing to the Board of Regents to appeal to the departmental administration to move things along faster.
Consequently, Knapper said, 'these alternatives on retirement programs are not going to get programmed in as soon as they'd'
hoped so we can deduct it from our paychecks," he said.
paychecks, he said. The latest delay with KIPPS is not the University's first.
The University decided late in December either to find a replacement for KIPPS or to revise the system to accommodate KU's complicated payroll.
KU joined the state's new computerized payroll system last October. About 475 KU employees did not receive their paychecks on time in November and December, for another 600 receipts for the amount. Payroll problems continued during the first few months of 1984.
"The University has withdrawn from the program in the sense that now the state does only two things," said Richard Mann, KU information systems director. "The state prints the paychecks and takes care of
some deductions, like pensions, that go to a third party.
"THE CHECKS ARE now calculated on campus, and as a result, the computer will have to be reprogrammed. That's the delay."
Mann said he had been told that re-programming the payroll computer would take 500 computer hours and cost about $17,000.
Several SenEx members expressed concern that the delay might
financially handicap some faculty members.
But Mann said faculty members were losing money only in the sense that they have not had the opportunity to alternate retirement programs.
The Board of Regents last year approved three alternative retirement programs to the basic retirement program that unclassified employees and faculty members now have.
