Tip #1: Financials – Accounts Payable: Updated Entertainment Form

The Entertainment Form has been updated and republished. For Payment Requests that pay a supplier for entertainment charges, the Entertainment Form is required to capture participant names/categories and their relationship to UGA. The Entertainment Form is not required for Expense Reports that include reimbursable entertainment amounts, because the Attendees’ section is used to capture participants and their relationship to UGA. 

Tip #2: Financials – Purchasing: New UGAmart Tutorials

UGAmart tutorials have been added to the Training Library for Shoppers, Requisitioners and Approvers. This is a resource for both new and existing employees. Additional UGAmart training will continue to be developed and added to the Training Library.

Tip #3: Financials – December Upgrade Weekend

The UGA Financial Management System will be upgraded the weekend of December 6 – 8. Expect the system to be unavailable during this time. Employees will need to clear their browser cache after this upgrade. Enhancement releases are on hold until December, so no updates will occur in October or November. More details on functionality and enhancements will be shared with the community closer to December. Updates, Maintenance Schedules and Release Notes can be found on the Roadmap Resource page.

Tip #4: Financials – Carry Forward Corrections, Transfers and Deficits

Are you responsible for managing your unit’s funds? If you have any funds with Carry Forward, please review the recording of the October 3 Weekly Status Call for information on managing these funds, identifying deficits and processing corrections or transfers.

Tip #5: OneUSG Connect – Payroll: Electronic W-2 Enrollment

Help spread the word! All employees are encouraged to consent for electronic delivery of their W-2. Consent for electronic W-2 with the UGA legacy self-service site was not converted to OneUSG Connect. Follow the tutorial for entering electronic delivery consent through the OneUSG Connect Employee Self-Service site. When W-2s are available in 2020, employees will be able to access their W-2 through the OneUSG Connect Employee Self-Service site.  If electronic delivery is not chosen by December 31, the W-2 will be mailed to the employee’s home address. Units can review which employees have consented to receive an electronic W-2 by running BOR_PY_YE_W2_CONSENT (requires Query Viewer access).

Note: If an employee separates from UGA (termination or retirement), they will NOT be able to login and access their W-2 online. Before the separation date from UGA, the employee will need to access OneUSG Connect Self-Service and remove consent for electronic W-2. This is included in the Separation Checklist. If not, the former employee will need to contact OneUSG Connect Support to request to have the W-2 mailed.

Tip #6: OneUSG Connect – 2020 Payroll Calendars

The Payroll Calendars for 2020 have been published on the Payroll website.The deadline for entering time & absences and approvals for the biweekly pay period ending 12/28/19 is under review and may be subject to change.

Tip #7: OneUSG Connect – Staff Salary: Compression and Inversion (SCI) Plan

As announced in the Admin Memo this week, around 3,000 jobs were identified for an increase effective 7/1/2019 for all of FY20. It is anticipated that the 10/11/2019 biweekly paycheck will be the first to reflect this pay increase.  The 10/31/2019 monthly paycheck will be the first paycheck to reflect this increase. The retro amounts back to 7/1/2019 will be included in these paychecks as well. All major units should be receiving their final lists of included employees by the end of this week and funding for FY20 will follow. These employees can view the increase in OneUSG Connect by logging on and choosing the Compensation History Tile. It will also be reflected in the Online Pay Advice.  Tutorials on navigating OneUSG Connect can be found in theOneSource Training Library. Please contact HR at hrweb@uga.edu or 542-2222 with any questions.

Tip #8: OneUSG Connect – Known Issue: State Charitable Campaign Program

USG has posted a Known Issue about the State Charitable Campaign Program (SCCP). Certain employees are receiving an error message when clicking on the SCCP Tile in Employee Self Servicestating that “the State Charitable Contribution Program is not open for elections at this time.” It appears to primarily impact select non-UGA EMPLDs that don’t begin with 180. A workaround for this issue is to submit a paper form using the delivered packet or from the Campaign website.

Tip #9: OneSource – Website Transition to Single Sign-On

Protected onesource.uga.edu webpages and documents will transition to the new production CAS environment, UGA Single Sign-On (UGA SSO) tonight, October 8th at 5pm. Once the transition is complete, the login screen will display the new UGA Single Sign-On Service. Employees will still login in with their MyID and password for all these systems. More information about UGA SSO, as well as a screenshot of the login page can be found at https://eits.uga.edu/access_and_security/uga_sso/.
