But most everyone elsecustodial, foods, merchandise, guest relations, maintenance, security, and so onwas largely on the honor system. Attractions employees also have to check in for their assignments, breaks and lunch with a CDS terminal. Cast members scan their ID card, then walk to their work location and report for duty, usually with a lead or manager. For the vast majority of workers that place is the check-in point called Harbour Pointe, located near the old Harbor House entry gate that was used in prior decades. Cast members must have known a change was coming soon as, over the past five months, over 100 time clocks began mysteriously appearing in almost every backstage work station, particularly in breakrooms and building lobbies.įor about the past 20 years, most cast members have had to clock in only as they arrived at and exited the park through an employee entrance.

Several years ago, the Human Resources department formed a task force to find a better system to replace ETRS, one that better integrated with GEMS and CDS. ETRS should have been replaced 10 years ago, but it was just so ingrained in every process Disneyland uses that it hung on for far too long. ∾TRS, explained one Disneyland manager, is an antiquated and hopelessly outdated computer program created in the 1980s to track and record the hours cast members work each day, which then gets sent to payroll and creates the paychecks each week. Well, there was one last remaining system hanging on from prehistoric days≾TRS, the Employee Time Recording System, which electronically records employees clock in and clock out and send the information to payroll. Or nearly caused a revolt when it replaced its time-honored costuming system with FasTrack ( Costume Foolery, 10/23/01)? Or created parkwide panic by computerizing scheduling with the GEMSGroup Employee Master Schedules ( Cast Members' Big Secrets, 8/13/01)? Remember the mass hysteria when Disneyland switched its venerable practice of rotations with the computerized CDS≼ast Deployment System ( The Virtual Lead, 12/29/00)? But change can be especially unnerving at a place like the Magic Kingdom, which constantly preaches traditions and markets the timeless. Like people at most jobs, Disneyland cast members are on the whole resistant to change.
