1 12. Payroll Processing (Process 9) Payroll Processing is the administering of the Payroll through to disbursement once it has been input and checked. This process also involves the termination of employee records from the Talent2 system, reconciliations, deduction loading, overpayment management and creation of joint clinical invoices for reimbursement Process Overview Process start Process end Frequency Positions involved Key tasks Service levels Performance The pay has been checked by the payroll input team All payrolls are processed and all reconciliations are complete.

3 Methodology Workshops were held with Payroll Processing and HR Systems staff to identify and complete the as is processes. The findings from these workshops were supplemented with information gathered from a facilitated discussion held with key Financial Services Division staff who participate in and undertake the process boundary of this process. In addition, a one-on-one meeting was held with the Senior Payroll Administrator to review and confirm the Superannuation charts. The PP13, PP14, PP15 and PP18 processes were mapped by the HR Systems Team in consultation with the Payroll Processing Team leader prior to the launch of the Smart Start Project. These charts were reviewed through the workshops by the Payroll Processing team. These process charts are driven by the Talent2 system setup Key Findings This section outlines the results of our analysis. Where the analysis is specific to a particular flowchart it is indicated by a reference to the flowchart in the section heading. On occasions there are issues with documents supporting the process and if they are not specific to a particular flowchart, these have been documented separately and include a reference to the document in the section heading. There are also a number of issues which have been identified during the course of our investigations which are more general in nature IR File (PP01) Earnings and Tax information is submitted once a month to the IRD via a system referred to as IR File. An ASCII text file is created by Talent2 and uploaded via a secure website to IRD. Prior to this, two reports are produced from Talent2; the first is the IR12 Remittance Report and the second is the Employers Remittance Reconciliation. The Senior Payroll Administrator undertakes a check of the reports and ensures that the totals of these two reports match. An error report, called Group Certificate Printing Exceptions is then generated from the Talent2 system. The reports are regenerated and the final balances between the IR12 and Employer s Remittances are checked again. Presently this process is undertaken entirely by the Senior Payroll Administrator, but two other staff have been trained in the process and do have online access to upload the electronic file to IRD. Having only one staff member undertaking this process completely is an area of risk which should be addressed. Q Quick Win Ensure that more than one staff member is involved in undertaking this process on a regular basis Termination process (PP02) When an employee ceases employment with the University of Otago, they are terminated in Talent2. This process pays out outstanding leave entitlements etc and ensures that they are not paid in subsequent pay runs. The termination process is undertaken in two areas of Payroll; Fixed term expiry terminations are processed by the Payroll Input Team, while resignations, redundancies, dismissals and retirements are processed by Payroll Processing. The expiry of a fixed term contract would occur Version 2, 11 October
4 outside of the scope of this Project, and hence this process has not been mapped. However, there are some comments on it in the Out of Scope section of the report. The latter are generally completed by the Payroll Processing Administrator and checked by the Payroll Processing Team Leader. Once signed off as correct by the Team Leader, the offline entry is completed in Talent2. At the same time the termination paperwork is forwarded to a specific Senior Payroll Administrator for a big picture check. Exactly what is covered in this big picture check is generally unspecified. There is no written list of things covered in the big picture check, rather it is based on past experience and knowledge. Two things which were mentioned were items that were identified as contractor payments which should be paid through accounts rather than Talent2 and also unspecified tax related issues. The Project Team was unable to gather any information on the number of errors identified through this big picture check and so therefore are unable to comment on the effectiveness of it, other than to say the Project Team is aware of one issue identified through this. However, the timing of this big picture check is suspect as the outcome has no bearing on the processing of the payroll. If errors are not identified until after the payroll is complete, there is no opportunity to change or to correct. R All terminations should be completed in one area, and it makes sense that it should be undertaken by Payroll Input Manual completion of a Termination Form (DOC 152) A paper form is completed for each termination by the Payroll Processing Administrator. The first part of the form is completed by transcribing information from the Talent2 screens to the hardcopy form, which has the potential for error. Manual calculations are then undertaken to determine the various amounts for payment which are then also written on the Termination form. The completed form is then used as a data entry form and the Payroll Processing Administrator updates Talent2 from it. The form is then used by the Payroll Processing Team Leader to check against Talent2 to ensure that the data has been entered correctly. Subsequent to this, the Senior Payroll Administrator also uses this for the big picture check. Note the Termination Calculator functionality within Talent2 has been partially implemented subsequent to our review and hence the process may have changed. Q R Quick Win If the termination form is still required with the Termination Calculator, then produce it electronically from Talent2 rather than manually filling it out by hand Investigate ways to automatically complete the termination of staff in the system and complete the implementation of the Termination Calculator Version 2, 11 October
5 Deductions (PP03) Many staff have automatic deductions made from their pay for various reasons i.e. Union Fees, Superannuation etc. These deductions are currently loaded and checked by the Payroll Processing Team. Periodically the monies deducted from employee s pay is remitted to the organisation concerned, usually with some information outlining how the payment is made up (e.g. a breakdown of who made what payment for superannuation). At the time of the workshops, these payments were made by means of hardcopy vouchers faxed to Cashiers whom then arrange payment to the various outside organisations. This process has changed with the implementation of Finance One, but those changes have not been mapped. R Payroll Processing should not do any data entry, they should simply be processing the payroll once it is entered and preparing the payments Deductions checking (PP24) Once deductions have been loaded into Talent2, they are checked by the Payroll Processing Team Leader. Once checked, copies of the source documents are taken and collated with all other source documents for the main payrun non update check. Original source documents are filed in the payroll processing office. R & R12.2.6A Individual repositories of employee data should be merged to be held in one central place Overpayments (PP04) Financial Services have developed a process for the handling of overpayments, that Payroll Processing follows. Both groups believe this process is working well. Payroll Processing will enter overpayment information into a shared spreadsheet which Financial Services has access to. Financial Services use the information from this spreadsheet to raise invoices for any overpayments that have been outstanding over one month. Financial Services audit this data. There was some debate within Payroll Processing on whose responsibility it was to follow up on the overpayment once the debt collectors were involved. Payroll Processing believe that at that point, the recovery of the overpayment is out of their hands, although they believe that Financial Services still see this as being the responsibility of Payroll Processing Superannuation new member (PP05) The Senior Payroll Administrator is continually receiving enquiries from staff about joining a superannuation scheme. The first step is to determine if the person enquiring is eligible and if so, appropriate information on joining is sent. If they are not eligible, they are advised by phone, or letter. Version 2, 11 October
6 All completed superannuation documentation received is entered into Talent2 by the Senior Payroll Administrator. Once the entry in Talent2 has been undertaken the application information is completed and forwarded to the organisation concerned, where they register the request and return a superannuation welcome pack. This is received by the Senior Payroll Administrator, who then redirects it to the employee. After the data has been loaded into Talent2, it may also be loaded into Decfin (the previous Payroll system). Talent2 has no history function (a summary of what you have contributed and what your employer has also contributed to date) so if the employee existed on Decfin prior to the University implementing Talent2, the superannuation information is loaded into Decfin as well. The data is loaded into Decfin with the hope that one day Talent2 might have history functionality and the data could be uploaded. The Senior Payroll Administrator produces a letter to be sent to the cost centre manager advising them that the staff member has joined a superannuation scheme and that deductions are going to be made from a specific account. They are advised the rate of subsidy but not given any dollar figure. A copy of this letter is then added to the hardcopy personal file that the Senior Payroll Administrator administers for each superannuation member (which is created the moment they join a scheme). This file is kept separate from the central Human Resources personnel filing system. Until recently, there was little backup for the Senior Payroll Administrator, and although changes have started to be made to reduce this risk, it is still an issue which should be reviewed. Q12.2.6A Q12.2.6B R & R12.2.6A R12.2.6B R12.2.6C Quick Win Approach superannuation organisations and enquire as to whether they can send the superannuation information direct to new members, rather than to the Senior Payroll Administrator who then has to forward it on Identify whether or not the letter to cost centre managers is required and if not, stop producing it Individual repositories of employee data should be merged to be held in one central place Review why summary superannuation information is needed to be held by Human Resources when it is available to the staff member concerned Alternate staff to be involved in superannuation administration GL changes (PP10) When an employee is paid, a charge is made to several accounts in the employee s department. Payroll receives frequent requests to make changes to these accounts and simple changes (i.e. change account A to account B for this employee) are made by Payroll Administrators as they are received. Many requests (often related to research accounts) are much more complicated than the example above. Requests such as charge to account A for June, account B for July, and then in August reverse out the charges from May onwards and charge it all to account C are common. In such cases, a specific Senior Payroll Administrator makes the changes. These requests often require extra work such as annual leave accrual journals, and it can be a time consuming task. Version 2, 11 October
7 The Project Team was unable to ascertain whether this is a Payroll Processing function or whether it should lie within the Financial Services Division. University of Otago, Christchurch staff highlighted an issue with this current process. Many of the Departmental Administrators will approach Payroll direct to change account codes for their staff. The Dean s Personal Assistant at the University of Otago, Christchurch highlighted her concern over this process when it relates to bulk grant funded account codes. Any debits to these accounts need to follow the additional divisional approval levels that are currently in place due to their current financial situation. When department staff go direct to Payroll to change account codes, these further approvals do not happen. It was also noted that the department staff doing this were not aware that further approval was required. Q Quick Win University of Otago, Christchurch to advise on appropriate process to undertake these account code changes Signoff of Payroll Payroll signoff Senior Payroll Administrator (PP16) As the Payroll Manager role is currently vacant, the Senior Payroll Administrator signs off the payroll documentation for each pay prior to the payroll being disbursed to Cashiers (Financial Services Division). This signoff incorporates a number of checks: 1. Ensuring that all variations on the exceptions report are accounted for with notations. During this check, the Senior Payroll Administrator may ask for further clarification on the notations 2. A check that the total pay run figures match the disbursement figures 3. A check that the figures on the reports match what is manually recorded in the payroll folder 4. A check over the pay run documentation, looking for big picture issues such as items that should not be paid through the payroll or obvious issues. Once the Senior Payroll Administrator is happy with the completeness of the documentation, they sign off all the reports as correct and advise the Payroll Processing team leader this is complete. The Payroll Processing Team Leader then takes the payroll down to registry for the Financial Accountant, (Financial Services Division) to sign off. The Payroll Processing Team Leader also delivers the bank file to the Cashiers (Financial Services Division) for disbursement. A recent change subsequent to the workshops is that two other senior staff in the Payroll Team are now also timetabled to sign off on the pay run Financial Services signoff (PP17) Once the Financial Accountant receives the payroll for sign-off, they undertake very similar checks to the Senior Payroll Administrator. These checks include: 1. A check that all the variations have been accounted for and the source documents clearly explain the variation 2. A check that the report figures match the disbursement figures 3. A check that the payroll has been signed off by a Senior Payroll member. 4. Check that staff who are listed on reports are terminated, are actually terminated in Talent2 Version 2, 11 October
8 The payroll is normally signed off by the Financial Accountant. If for some reason they are not available, there are two other staff within Financial Services who can sign off the payroll, being the Budget Accountant and Project Accountant. Both of these staff admitted that they do not undertake the process frequently enough and are often not familiar with the payroll documents or the process for signing it off. The Budget Accountant and Project Accountant both felt that the exceptions report was not clear, and they do not have access to Talent2 to check that staff are actually terminated in the system in the same way that the Financial Accountant does. They both suggested that an information sheet for checking the payroll would be useful along with a coversheet with the exceptions report explaining what it means and what to look for. Now that Payroll are located off University campus, it was noted that it does take slightly longer to take the payroll documentation to Financial Services Division for signoff. It is generally a 25 minute round trip in travel time. This does not take into account the time waiting whilst it is signed off. If there are a number of manual pays during a week, the Payroll Processing Team Leader can be back and forth from registry regularly during the week. There is no evidence that the final check by Financial Services is providing any additional value to the process. While the Financial Accountant is extremely thorough and probing in the questions and verification that he requires, Payroll Processing was not aware of any instances where acceptable answers have not been provided or of situations where the pay has not actually been signed off. R Financial Services do not sign off the payroll. If this recommendation is not accepted, then provide instruction and training for those staff that don t undertake this frequently Manual Pay check (PP19) Manual payments are generally completed by the Payroll Processing Administrator and checked by the Payroll Processing Team Leader. Once the Payroll Processing Team Leader has signed off the manual pay the offline payment is processed. At the same time the manual pay documentation is forwarded to the Senior Payroll Administrator for a further check. In some occasions errors have been identified in this check, but it has been too late to change as the payment has been disbursed to the Cashiers for payment. R Redesign the checking process so that if the checkers identify errors, there is actually time for them to be fixed prior to disbursement. The current checking process seems to rely upon the quantity of checks rather than the quality. The redesigned process (to be done in conjunction with a redesign of the entry process) should focus on quality data entry and relevant, pertinent, verifiable checks as close to source as possible Manual Payments Manual payments are payments that are made to staff outside of a normal pay run. These typically result from terminations between pay periods, and on occasions the Human Resources Director or Divisional HR Managers may arrange settlements or agree to an immediate payment outside of a pay Version 2, 11 October
9 run. Departments will occasionally miss payroll deadlines and timesheets etc will arrive at payroll late. If possible, they will be processed, but if they miss the pay run, a manual pay should not be agreed to except in exceptional circumstances. The decision in such cases is made by a senior member of the Payroll team or the HR Projects Manager. Payroll staff noted that the number of manual pays being processed had increased. This increase was also noted by the Financial Accountant who questioned the validity of the manual pays and Payroll s process for approving these. There are currently no guidelines available to departments and Payroll staff outlining what scenarios would be acceptable for a manual payment and in what instances the payment will have to wait until the next available pay run. It would appear that the perception in Payroll Input is that if a manual payment is already being made on a particular day, then it is acceptable to prepare other manual pays to go through as well. These payments may not have normally gone through as a normal pay, however the general belief is that if one is being run then it is no trouble to add another payment in. Payroll Processing s preference is to not action manual payments often as they have to be entered in Talent2 as an offline entry. This means that the details of the pay are not available for reporting on in the future as they are outside of a pay run. R Establish guidelines indicating when it is appropriate for a manual payment to be made. These guidelines should be distributed to appropriate University staff College Payroll Financial Services staff enquired about the college Intech payroll and whether staff who are still paid through that will be moved to Talent2. The data from Intech is not produced in a standard input format for the financial systems and has to be manually input by spreadsheet. Bank accounts are also often invalid which creates problems in making the payment. This pay system is still being used to make payment to Assistant Teachers with the College. The decision has been made to pay these staff through Talent2, but it will involve lengthy data entry and setup of codes etc in Talent2. Initial planning has started. R All Associate Teacher payments should be made via Talent2 Version 2, 11 October

The data shown in Figure has been collated from informal notes made by the Payroll Processing Team Leader over the period noted above. There were a total of 81 manual pays during this period Process Enquiries Enquiries received in Payroll Processing include: Enquiries from within the University and external to the University regarding deductions from employees e.g. PSA, AUS, Southern Cross Enquiries in relation to making errors or omissions Enquiries relating to final pays in terms of confirming that all annual leave has been booked Departments setting up/changing account codes to charge salaries to Overpayment queries What will my first pay be? How do I join the NZUSS? Am I being taxed correctly? The department may ring to query what account code the employee is being paid from How do I reclaim reimbursements? How do I get access to the Staff Web Kiosk? 12.5 Documentation that supports this process The Payroll Processing process is supported by several documents (forms, memos etc). Several of these have already been mentioned in the section above as there are issues with them. This section is intended as a reference and contains a comprehensive list of all documents associated with the Payroll Processing process. Note that the Project Team undertook some investigation outside of the workshops and identified a number of forms (included in this table) that are associated with this process, but were not mentioned at the workshops.
