A secondary payroll expense detail report has been made available in Tableau to allow users a more customizable experience when interacting with Payroll Data.   

Flexible Payroll Expense Details - a customizable grouping payroll expense report with two worksheets.

• Flexible Cumulative Payroll Actuals and Encumbrances - provides customizable journal attribute grouping and returns a year-to-date total spend based on parameters selected in the prompt as well associated remaining encumbrances
• Flexible Monthly Payroll Actuals - provides customizable journal attribute grouping based on periods selected in the prompt. 

The report can be found in the Finance and Supply Chain Domain > Financial Accounting/General Ledger >  Flexible Payroll Expense Data (Tableau link: https://dataviz.rae.osu.edu/#/workbooks/6447/views) 

The Fiscal year 2023 Period Close calendar and Department Fiscal Payroll Processing calendar are now combined into one single calendar. The calendar can be found on the Controller's website both under Business Processes within the Period Close page and the Payroll Accounting page.

Several expense reports are now in production. Details are described in the full NewsLink article.

• Find Expense Report Details – OSU 
• Find Expense Report Summary – OSU 
• Expense Report Exceptions Report updates

And as we say hello to the new reports, we need to say farewell to “Find Expense Reports – OSU,” “Find Expense Report Lines,” and “Find Expense Report Lines for Organization" which will be decommissioned on August 31.  

These reports will be replaced by the first two new reports previously mentioned.

Users with saved filters and worklet configurations for “Find Expense Reports – OSU," “Find Expense Report Lines,” and “Find Expense Report Lines for Organization” are asked to delete them prior to the decommission date. Saved filters can be applied to the new reports.  

A recent enhancement is now in effect for how employees’ reporting structure data can be updated in Workday. As of Friday, Aug. 12, managers, manager liaisons and HR consultants have access to initiate assigning an employee or vacant position to another manager in Workday.

Managers, manager liaisons and HR consultants no longer need to gather employee data and submit a request through HR Connection if the new manager has a supervisory organization associated with the correct staffing model. This enhancement helps streamline the process, eliminates the need for manual data collection and increases the communication managers will receive throughout the process. 

To initiate moving an employee or position to another manager in Workday, search for “Move Workers” in the Workday search bar and select Move Workers (Supervisory). If the new, proposed manager does not have the correct supervisory organization, a request should be submitted through hrconnection.osu.edu. More information is available on the HR website.

What you need to do:

• Read more on the HR website and view this Move Workers Job Aid for how to initiate moving an employee in Workday.
• Share this information with managers and manager liaisons in your college/unit.
