Interview Summary

Design a Questionnaire

Sampling Methods

Interview Questions

Mr. Williams,I believe a good course of action to take with Ms. Rider would be to request a copy of your own forms. This should not be a problem as they contain your information. In addition to this, perhaps Ms. Rider would not mind creating some “SAMPLE” forms. These could be filled out by her staff with plausible, but not personnel specific, information. These ideas will help get you the information you are looking for without stepping over any confidential boundaries.

Respectfully Submitted,John StaabCEO, To The Point

Linda DeMarco – BIS Customer Relations Manager GAPP – Generalized Automated Payroll Program

8 years old Phased out in 1-2 years No further inhancements

CHIPS – Comprehensive High-powered Interactive Payroll System Will be replacing GAPP This is new information for SWL Could contain special module to handle mismatched

deduction cycles Available within 1 year Cost would not increase more than 30%

Systematic sampling A sample that occurs at a predetermined periodicity Ex: Every 10th record selected

Stratified sampling A sample where a set metric is collected across

functional areas Ex: certain percentage of transactions from each work

shift is selected

Random sampling A sample taken in a random, unplanned manner Ex: a sample that selects any 20 customers

Was the payroll staff accessible when needed?

Were your requests handled in a timely manner?

Did the payroll staff appear knowledgeable of the payroll system?

Overall, on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lowest) how would you rate the current payroll system and why.
