The Advoc8te hopes that this summer the district can run this properly this time. I could not fatham running a payroll project like this one was run last summer - to be fair I have a lot of years experience in staffing and recruiting but still - from all reports last years program was run very poorly from the door. Hopefully this time the city will outsource to an experienced private employment agency.
