#PRNSBEST Timekeeping Unit is the Backbone to PRNS
Their Dedication and Resilience is Essential to PRNS Success
Post Date:08/16/2021 2:00 PMThe Department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services (PRNS) has approximately 1500 employees working within various divisions.
Our PRNS administrative team is challenged ensuring the behind-the-scenes work is handled so that City employees are supported and can continue their #EssentialWork.
One critical team important to the successful operation of the department is the timekeeping team. Not only do these #PRNSBest employees facilitate employees receiving paychecks, an important part of any job, they also overlook thousands of hours of work, handle various paperwork duties and more.
In short, the PRNS Timekeeping Team is an essential asset to our department and is beyond deserving of the title #PRNSBest!
The Timekeeping Unit is made up of three employees whose daily duties are primarily payroll processing and overseeing the timecards of all department employees. The staff also handles many administrative duties such as work permits and mileage and education reimbursements.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Timekeeping Unit was tasked with inputting over 800 San José Recreation Leader (RL) timecards information every two weeks to ensure employees were compensated correctly.
During this time, the Timekeeping Unit worked extensively with both the RL and the full-time staff to ensure everyone received their paychecks on-time and correct.
The resilience and dedication of the Timekeeping Unit is an integral part in supporting the entire PRNS department and allows employees to focus on their work. Through the support of the Timekeeping Unit, PRNS can prioritize offering quality recreation and essential services to the residents of San José.
Thank you to our #PRNSBest Timekeeping Unit- Jeannette Tamayo, Chris Faria and Steven Pang - for being the backbone of this department!
The ActivateSJ Strategic Plan is the City of San José's Department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services’ (PRNS) plan to maintain, improve and expand our facilities, programs and services. The plan guides how we care for and develop a diverse park system, and an abundance of recreation programs and services for all in San José.
To invest in San José’s outdoor public spaces is to prioritize a balanced, connected and healthy public life now and in the future. We hope to open more parks within our city and extend more recreational offerings to residents, while maintaining the beauty and integrity of our current public spaces.
