For this month especially, we are asking for time sheets (support staff) and time-off reports (administrators) to be submitted as soon as possible so we can provide the necessary year-end vacation accrual reports to the finance office in a timely manner.
Administrators, please resume using paper time-off reports. If you would like to download a copy to keep on your desktop, you can find it at this link.
We had hoped embedding the form in the body of an email would allow us to discontinue using the paper forms; but unfortunately, it did not work out well on the payroll end of the process. We will continue to explore other possibilities for automating this process to improve efficiencies and eliminate paper, but until further notice, we need to ask you to use the paper form.
Thank you,
HR

Our new chart of accounts is set to go live on Tuesday, July 1. Here’s an update on how to use or find additional information:
- First, nothing will change for finishing up your June 30 (FY13/14) transactions. Continue to use the same forms and run the same reports. These transactions are still using the current chart of accounts.
- Please follow any instructions you have already received from Human Resources regarding payroll forms and direct payroll questions to the HR team. The next payroll will be on July 31, with no mid-month process for check requests in July.
- There has been a page added to the finance webpage (georgefox.edu/finance) for chart of accounts information.
- Coming soon will be:
- Instructions explaining the new chart fields and how to use them.
- Instructions for using the “commitment control†inquiry feature to review your departments.
- Instructions for using the purchase order system for FY14/15 purchases.
- Resource for translating your current coding into the new 14/15 coding.
- There will be a new section on the “Common Forms†page for FY14/15 Forms to be used for FY14/15 business.
Most of you will be busy finishing up your June 30 work during the first few days of July. We are making every effort to have all these materials available before you need them to begin creating purchase orders, check requests or deposits for the new fiscal year. If you do not find what you need to complete your July transactions, please call the finance office at ext. 2167 and we will help you.
