Acutally as a disaster recovery specialist (business continuity) pointed out, you don't need the HR running. All you need is a manual way to cut advance checks based on paper records. If the person has any way of identifying him or her self as entitled, the paperwork and updating can take place later. A way to take roll call and determine if anyone is left in an afflicted facility without calling that person's home is advisable but this is not the HR record being discussed. > >Fortunately, the law imposes a fiduciary responsibility even on the >companies that wouldn't otherwise care. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
