Description
We determined a TVA contractor providing nuclear security services was incurring a high level of overtime due to work schedules and headcount limitations. The headcount limitations had resulted in TVA paying $1.84 million in extra labor costs during 2004 and 2005. We estimated if the trend continued TVA would pay an extra $3.5 million over the planned three-year remaining term of the contract. TVA management stated they had reviewed the contractor's staffing levels and determined additional full-time positions were needed to man the security posts. Also management stated they had taken action regarding the contractor's security manning requirements and shift scheduling that will reduce overtime to acceptable levels. Summary Only
