Abstract
Baltimore YouthWorks is a program operated by the Baltimore City Mayor’s Office for Employment Development (MOED). Approximately 8,000 Baltimore City youth, aged 14-21, receive short-term summer employment at minimum wage with local government departments, nonprofits, and businesses. A significant challenge facing the YouthWorks program is an inefficient and outdated timekeeping process. The program seeks to develop a digital timesheet system to pilot with a small group of employment partners to evaluate the viability of a complete shift in payroll processing operations. This project reviewed industry best practices and academic research, along with application of the User Centered Design process to develop a proposed design for the pilot platform.
