The Voyager Project Executive Steering Team wants to recognize and thank our One Amazing team for their continued patience and partnership as we all work through the impacts of the ongoing Kronos outage. Although this event was out of Texas Children’s control, our teams are working tirelessly to ensure our employees are compensated on time and accurately, while also correcting any underpayments as quickly as possible.
As compensating our workforce remains Texas Children’s highest priority during this Kronos outage, we have determined there is an increased risk of further payroll disruptions if we were to transition to our new HR and Payroll systems in Voyager on our current timeline of Jan. 4. As a result, we have decided to delay the launch of Voyager for HR and Payroll to a later date. Leadership is working diligently and quickly to determine a new Go-Live plan and will communicate this as soon as we know more.
Many successful missions encounter bumps on the road. Even this week, NASA made a decision to delay the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope. For us, this was a difficult decision, but simply put: we are not willing to take chances when it comes to paying our employees.
What this means for you
- MOLI has agreed to delay retirement and continue operating as our HR and Payroll system. You will continue accessing your employee and pay information in MOLI for the time being. This includes your W-2, W-4, pay slips and direct deposit information. All dates and action items associated with this change are on hold.
Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks.
