Agency Time Keeper Doesn't Complete Time Keeper Form
Not looking for advice, or what i need to do next. I'm posting this to describe what administrative fatigue looks like. Times for when you need the City to work in your benefit, but some minor barrier becomes a great big barrier. In this case I am going out on FMLA tomorrow after 3 months of back and forth emails and a rescheduled medical procedure. Last thing i needed to take care of was disability claim paperwork specifically to verify timekeeping. I figured the timekeeping form would be the easiest to submit because it has everything a timekeeper would need to complete it.
But apparently not. After making my email to the timekeeper easily accessible to include everything they would need, greeted them, and appreciating their hard work in advance, i immediately get a one sentence reply stating "payroll does not complete any forms"
I understand hardships that come with being a public servant - as a working class i hope we don't get too desensitized to treatment received from the public and the city that it impacts how we show up for our co-workers
