As of last night, we had 15,000 error records on job assignments. They have about 1,700 employees, some of which have two or more jobs. We should still be well under 3,000 job records.

So far we have 425 successfully loaded. The rest of those 3,000 are buried in the 15,000 errors. The key is getting the 3,000 good records fixed so they'll load. I don't care about the other 12,000. With most of my clients this is easy. But, then, most of my clients terminate employees in their HR/payroll system when they die. This client doesn't. They take the stand that those people no longer turn in a timesheet, so they don't get paid. We're dealing with going on 15 years of record keeping that's very, very sloppy, and a mentality that sees nothing wrong with that.
ah yuck. so what may look like a legit record is really a dead person record. glooooory!!
