Re: Budgetary concerns related to the revamp Compensation/Benefits package.

While assessing the budget details of the Compensation and Benefits package project some concerns have been raised, that the budget is depleting quicker than expected. This issue is related to specific target dates that have not been met.

In order to find a quick resolution to this problem, I am calling for a meeting to be held immediately in Conference Room H. This meeting will address the budget issues and how we can improve the situation. I would like to for each team member representative to analyze their place within the project and to verify if you are on schedule. This is a sound way to keep the project from over budgeting itself. It is very important that each member utilize their time wisely and focus on meeting the company goals and standards. Addressing this situation will possibly prevent the budget from going too far off course by eliminating or adjusting the amount of some items.

We share the responsibility of ensuring that VCA Systems employees are provided with the best packages as possible for long term care. The benefits related to the revised Compensation and Benefits package are reduced turnover rate and a gain in new employees to our organization. So please note I appreciate all that you are doing and what we are doing is beneficial to our staff and employees.
