MEMORANDUM FOR: Carolyn
Federoff, President, AFGE National Council of HUD Locals 222
FROM: Priscilla
Lewis, Chief, Labor Relations Branch, ARHRLL
SUBJECT: Amendment
to Entry Processing Inquiry and Correction System (EPIC) Notification
In accordance with Article 5, Section 4 of the
HUD/AFGE Agreement, on May 16, 2003, Management sent notification of the
proposed implementation of EPIC. On May 23, we received your preliminary proposals.
We are now amending our notification to include the new System for Time and
Attendance Report (STAR) Web. Since both EPIC and STAR Web involve changes
mandated by the National Finance Center (NFC), we thought it would be best to
negotiate the changes simultaneously. NFC is quickly approaching the time
for the changeover; therefore, it is important that we begin negotiations, so
that our employees continue to receive their paychecks. We have attached
information relating to STAR Web for your clarification.
Please submit
any additional proposals related to the impact of the implementing of these new
procedures within 10 calendar days after receipt of this memorandum.
If you have any questions or
concerns, please contact me at (202) 708-1492.
