HR will not be running a payroll between June 30 and July 31, 2014. The new Chart of Accounts will take effect in July, and all employee pay records must be updated prior to running the next payroll. This project will not be finished until mid to late July.

In order to process all 2013-14 fiscal year payroll information, we will run two payrolls at the end of June. Everything received by June 18 will be processed on the regular payroll cycle and paid by direct deposit on June 30 as usual. Katie Sol will also run an extra payroll (live check rather than direct deposit) on June 30 to include anything received from June 19 through June 26. Please note that everything that comes in between June 27 and July 18 will be processed on the July 31 payroll.

In order to ensure compliance with federal requirements as well as those of the 13 states where we have employees, we need to put more effort into getting documents here on time for processing with the regular, month-end payroll. We can predict that a mid-month payroll will be required a few months each year, but we are discontinuing this practice as a regular event. Therefore, please note that the hard and fast due date in HR for payroll information is the 18th of the month. Items received after that date will be paid on the following month’s regular, end-of-month payroll.

If you have questions, contact Lisa Burton at lburton@georgefox.edu.

Thank you!
