Dear Payroll Administrators,
From the recent FSM Department Payroll Processing Survey, 26% of departments noted that Payroll Transaction Approver (PTA) approvals or lack thereof impeded the successful implementation of their payroll processing workflow. By Q2FY24,
missing or late funding updates and approvals was the 3rd leading reason for denials, accounting for 15% of all journals denied at the school-level.
We are asking departments to review current Payroll Transaction Approvers (PTAs) and to remind all PTAs of their responsibilities when assigned the role.
PTA Review Instructions
i. HR Systems General Access Request Form and submit via the
FSM Security Access Request Form:
ii. myHR Learn Training Courses HRS101: myHR Data Lookup and HRS102: myHR Deployed Funding
PTA Guidelines: All current and new PTAs should review the
PTA Guidelines and confirm the ability to fulfill the responsibilities of the role.
All departments must review PTA approvers and notify our office of completion by
Friday, April 19.
Thank you,
Office of Finance and Administration
