Second systemwide payroll using SAP debuts Friday

 

This Friday, Feb. 29, will be the second systemwide payroll for all monthly-paid employees run by SAP. When employees receive their paychecks, they might see some very slight difference. Rest assured, your hard-earned money will all be there, but it might be reported in a slightly different format from what you’ve seen in previous paystubs. You might see some minor differences in the amounts because of a different way of calculating taxes or rounding, but overall, there should not be a big, noticeable change. 

 

The format changes are small, but they provide more information showing exactly how much you were paid and where any withheld money went. Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll see.

 

·            “Person ID” now is used as your employee identification number.

·            Filing status, as well as number of exemptions/withholdings, is included.

·            Gross pay is shown, as well as the total taxes and deductions subtracted to calculate net pay.

·            Payments or deposits to bank account(s) are more clearly identified.

·            Taxes and other deductions are more clearly identified.

·            Hours of used leave time are shown as well as any remaining leave time.*

*hours of used leave time reflect those taken after January 1, 2008

We have received inquiries concerning who is next in line to approve a requisition once it has been released within the SAP system. Below is a Quick Reference Guide to help answer this key question within your job duties. It is also useful for finding out who already has approved the requisition.
