Key Data: Labor data records will now be available faster and easier thanks to the new Web Access to Labor Information Web site. Since the labor data consists of hours worked and wages earned, the new site will guarantee the privacy of Vanderbilt employees by making it available to only those who have security approval and possess an appropriate e-password. The site will provide quicker and more secure labor data reports, customizable options and access to labor information from as far back as July 2000. "The Web site allows users to create reports that better fit their needs, and the step-by-step program walks users through the application," said Jennifer Karpinski, associate in management and member of the project team for the Web site. In the past, labor reports were printed on Mondays, and Vanderbilt administrators and administrative assistants would often have to wait days to receive the most recent labor information. Now the data can be viewed and printed first thing on Monday mornings. The Web site, which launched June 3, offers data that can be downloaded into an Excel or text file that can be easily printed. Labor reports will continue to be distributed in paper form until July 8, at which point the Web Access to Labor Information Web site will become the preferred medium for access to labor data.
