--- Meeting Date: Unknown Meeting Type: Call Note Type: Summary Attendees: - Scott Warner - Steve Wade --- ## 1. Meeting Summary I spoke with Steve to make a quick operating decision after the system outage was confirmed to continue for the rest of the day, with no assurance it would be restored by the next morning. The immediate issue was that warehouse operations were effectively stalled - carts had been picked but could not be confirmed, and there was no meaningful productive work left beyond cleaning and other busy work. We aligned on sending agency associates home rather than keeping people on site for nonessential tasks. For regular employees, the working assumption was to release them and pay them for a standardized amount of time since this was a company system issue and not something within employee control. We also discussed the complication of employees who had already left voluntarily earlier in the day. The practical recommendation was to normalize pay so everyone received the same amount rather than creating inconsistency. Steve noted that Finance was planning to take the same general approach. We also touched on Service, where there seemed to be some conflicting views on whether there was still usable work available outside the affected system. Before finalizing anything, I paused the conversation to speak with Amity so we could confirm alignment across functions. ## 2. Attendee List - Scott Warner - Steve Wade ## 3. Action Items - [Scott Warner] Confirm final direction with Amity before making the broader release/pay decision. - [Scott Warner] Align warehouse response with Finance and any other affected departments so treatment of employees is consistent. - [Steve Wade] Prepare to send agency associates home due to lack of productive work. - [Steve Wade] Implement a consistent pay approach for regular employees if the early dismissal is confirmed. - [Scott Warner] Clarify how to handle employees who left voluntarily earlier so payroll treatment is consistent with the final decision. - [Scott Warner] Confirm whether Service truly has enough offline work to continue despite the outage. ## 4. Relevant Timelines - System outage expected to continue for the rest of the day. - No guarantee the system would be back up by the following morning. - Immediate same-day decision needed on whether to send employees home. - Payroll handling for affected employees needed to be determined the same day in conjunction with the dismissal decision. ## 5. Additional Notes - The main decision principle was that this was a system-driven interruption, not an attendance or performance issue, which supports paying regular employees for a defined portion of the day. - Agency associates were treated differently, with the expectation that they would be sent home without the same pay treatment as regular employees. - There was concern about setting precedent, especially if other departments also released employees and paid them. - Service may still have some available work through reconditioning and prep activity, but that appeared to depend in part on SAP access for parts lists and related information. - The unresolved issue at the end of the call was final cross-functional alignment, particularly with Amity, before executing the plan.
