National Payroll Week September 7 - 11
Beginning Monday, September 7 (well, maybe after Labor Day on Tuesday, September 8), take a moment to give some thanks to our colleagues in Payroll Services in honor of National Payroll Week. This group ensures you receive your paycheck accurately and on-time, every time. But wait, you’ve never heard of National Payroll Week?
In 1996, the American Payroll Association (APA) founded National Payroll Week to coincide with the celebration of Labor Day. National Payroll Week has been “celebrated” in NewsLink for many years to add some levity to the usual deadline info and system change content.
Did you know that through payroll withholding, America’s workforce and our payroll professionals contribute, collect and report 70% of the annual revenue of the U.S. Treasury, amounting to roughly $2.4 trillion per year? See the full article to learn more and even enjoy the NPW theme song!

Procurement Agreement Process OnBase Training
A virtual instructor-led training on how to use the OnBase web client for the procurement agreement process will soon be available for service center employees. This new process will replace the BF-PUR-Agreements email.
The training will focus on how to obtain a signature for a procurement agreement, highlighting the commonly-used functionalities: completing procurement agreement forms in OnBase, using OnBase’s search feature to locate procurement agreements, and tracking procurement agreements in OnBase with the workflow feature.
While the training is directed to service center employees, others may find it useful. See full article for registration details.
