•  Reimbursements and ACH Deposits
•  Banner Finance Training – Fall 2008

Early Timesheet Deadline

From Audrey Arsenault, Business Office: Because of the Thanksgiving holidays, the Payroll Office requests that timesheets be completed and dropped off at their regular locations by Tuesday, November 25, at 10 a.m. This timesheet will include November 15 though November 28. If you are unable to prepare your timesheet early, please remember that the deadline for timesheet drop-off is Monday, December 1, at 9 a.m.

We are making this request because Thursday and Friday, November 27 and 28, are campus holidays. In addition, many members of our campus community may elect to be away from the office on Wednesday, November 26. With the volume of timesheets that are processed each pay period, it is difficult to process all of the timesheets in one day.

Also, because of the holidays, paychecks for salaried faculty and staff will be available on Wednesday, November 26, after 8 a.m. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Payroll Office at 8-2479.

Reimbursements and ACH Deposits

From the Business Office: We have found that our new initiative of depositing travel and petty cash reimbursements directly (electronically) into individuals’ bank accounts (i.e., the ACH process) has been well received on campus. We appreciate the positive feedback!

For those who have neither the extra time to visit us in person nor the inclination to carry a lot of cash, there is no minimum amount required for reimbursements to be processed via ACH. Even the smallest amounts may be handled in this way. No cash, no hassle, no fuss. Feel free to route your reimbursement request via campus mail at MS 1603, or stop by in person to drop off your paperwork. If you are not currently enrolled in the electronic deposit (ACH) program and would like to be, please contact Matt Kimber at 8-2480.

Banner Finance Training – Fall 2008

From Carole Whippie, Business Services: Banner Finance training sessions will begin on Tuesday, September 9, for the fall semester. The first session will focus on the Chart of Accounts (COA) and Budgeting Concepts, the foundation of our financial system. All classes are in Rhodes CE Lab unless otherwise indicated. Here is the Fall 2008 Banner Finance training schedule; please self-register for the classes and open labs at http://www.keene.edu/it/helpdesk/training/.
