  be triggered by per updates/S1 owns Mil/Pay

  implement DIMHRS on 15 Sep 2008 and every 15th of
  the month (Reporting tool will be web-based with
  limited access)

Where We Need your Support

• 1) Ensure your communications network is
  working- Change Champion/Agent Network
• 2) Be aware of DIMHRS benefits to the Army and
  support implementation. Understand why we are
  implementing DIMHRS
• To improve readiness
• To increase responsiveness to operational
  Commanders and Soldiers
• COTS product with very little modification (It
  will work- but we must be prepared for the
  Business Process Changes. )
• 3) Develop your organizations
  training/implementation strategy (DIMHRS impacts
  everyone)
• When will training be scheduled ?
• Which of the available training methods will be
  utilized ?
• Assess the impact of DIMHRS on your organization,
  its business processes and SOPs how can you
  leverage the new capabilities and technology in
  DIMHRS?
• Ensure your organization is properly engaged to
  realign the MILPAY mission from FM to HR
  ownership
• 4) Prepare in Advance
• Personnel Asset Inventories
• Unit Commanders Finance Report (UCFR)
• Ensure Soldiers, Commanders, Supervisors, DA
  Civilian Contractor HR Providers are prepared
  for implementation

16
Checklists
Checklists are used to ensure Personnel Actions
are completed in a timely manner.
Checklists enable HR Specialists and Commanders
to monitor the status of Personnel Actions such
as

• Mobilization
• Retirements
• PCS (Permanent Change of Station)
• In/Out Processing

Using a checklist ensures that each step involved
in the particular procedure is completed to
standard.
Failure to use a checklist may cause a number of
problems including the delay of pay and Personnel
Actions.
