Re: Preparing for a High-profile Termination

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Al Mac brings up some good points on being able to complete the tasks the 
high profile person used to do.  One big security thing is to enforce 
vacations.  And don't do the obvious of forcing them to schedule their 
vacation so they are never gone during period end.  Having them gone 
during period end on occasion is a good thing.  This will let you know 
what processes are documented sufficiently and which are not.  Watch also 
that employee who is never gone the day that PR checks are printed.  One 
employee got pretty clever with UPDDTA and the direct deposit file.
I am concerned that this one employee is so critical to the department. 
I've suggested disabling the profile when they are on vacation.  The idea 
is met with horror.  Not only do I want to ensure that the job is covered, 
but I'd like the poor person to get a real break when on vacation instead 
of remotely connecting all the time.
