This full-time, 10-month position will be open through next Tuesday, July 15. Please email hr@georgefox.edu to ask for a copy of the job description.

To apply, please submit a completed transfer request, cover letter, and resume to Human Resources no later than Tuesday, July 15, at 5 p.m. The link to the transfer request form can be found here.

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

HR invites you to participate in our ninth annual Red, White and Blue Jeans Day. In recognition of Independence Day this Friday (and a George Fox holiday), you are encouraged to wear casual attire in patriotic colors on Thursday, July 3.

At 3 p.m., the HR staff will serve up the all-American dessert – apple pie a la mode – on the Bruin Den plaza just outside the ASC offices and near “Old Glory” (please note change in location). We hope you can join us for this sweet treat and enjoy a chance to visit with coworkers. Summer student employees are also invited.

Portland employees will gather in PDS 160 to enjoy an Independence Day celebration during afternoon break as well.

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.

Thank you,
The Chart of Accounts Team

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.
