Pay Cycle

In honor of the occasion of our first PeopleSoft payroll,
especially dedicated to our HR/Payroll implementation team and their IT support staff.


Job Reqs have been filled;
eRecruit has hired.
Our worst fears have been stilled...
And no one's yet been fired.

It's starting to make sense—
The lessons we have learned!
Like: Faculty Events
Will track the tenure earned,

And Contract Pay will tell
The academic year.
Positions? Manage well.
Workforce? Administer.

We've processed Time Admin
(We've Labored through its fits!)
The Admin brother Ben
Keeps up our benefits.

Now payroll is confirmed!!
Our very first pay run.
Yet this we have affirmed—
We've only just begun.

Long hours our staff has stayed
Now checks have gone to print:
Employees will be paid!
And EFT files sent!

And then, behind the scene
Distribute funds, pull cost,
Run PAYGL0 2 and 3:
The lines to GL tossed.

Deductions we collect
(And also lots of tax)
Providers now expect—
So send AP extracts.

Now all've received their pay,
Accounting's happy, too.
So let's call it a day—
Then start the cycle new!
