Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have provided tools to the departments similar to what the Department of Human Resources uses. As I mentioned, there’s a comment section in the PeopleSoft information system that we have encouraged departments to have employees fill in for reasons for overtime. We’ve also encouraged departments similar to our own department to have preauthorization of overtime in the form of an e-mail message or we’ve provided a prescribed form that departments can use for overtime as well. We’ve clearly articulated to our clients that overtime needs to be approved in advance for operational needs and we’ve provided them with a system in our PeopleSoft system so that they can have it electronically recorded, as well, for approval. We’ve communicated this out to our departments through our client service managers and we maintain the same system ourselves in the Department of Human Resources.
