This 30-minute course reviews the Federal Work Study program from a finance perspective. The Federal Work Study program provides job opportunities for eligible students with financial need who are enrolled at least half time, allowing them to earn money to help pay indirect education expenses.
The Student Financial Aid office helps subsidize the cost of hiring students who have Federal Work Study awards. In other words, when you hire a Federal Work Study student position the department can get the cost of the student’s salaries and associated expenses subsidized if not fully covered. Non-Revenue Generating Units receive FULL subsidy for eligible wages and benefits. Revenue Generating Units receive 75% of the student’s eligible wages subsidized.
This training includes explanations of the processes for Federal Work Study, and the related costing allocation, central allocation and reconciliation of the GL. The training will also review reports that may assist with the Federal Work Study process.

As of Friday, November 3 , the "Calculate Current Year Retained Earnings" checkbox will be retired by Workday.
Using this checkbox tells the report to calculate ending equity balances by taking beginning equity balance – net margin. Those who still need comparable behavior may utilize the "General Ledger Balance – Balance Sheet Details" report which will calculate ending equity in this manner. Please review the October Finance Office hours for a demo of this change.

As part of a standardization project, the business teams have been reviewing notifications for the Requisition and Purchase Order Business Processes to help create consistency across each process. These enhancements will be completed on Monday, October 9 . The change described below will be made to help improve the end user experience.
The “Requested on behalf of” will be notified if someone else (the initiator) starts a requisition on behalf of them. The requisition requester (and Requested on behalf of if applicable) will be notified if the amount of the requisition is changed by someone downstream. The requisition requester (and Requested on behalf of if applicable) will be notified if anyone other than the requester of a requisition cancels or denies the requisition. For Requisitions, only PCard, Inventory Replenishment and Change Order Requisitions the system will notify the requester (and Requested on behalf of if applicable) at completion of the business process. For everything else notification will go out at the issuance of a Purchase Order. Prior approvers will all now be notified if a subsequent approver denies the requisition.
See the full post for a reminder about how Workday notifies initiators, reviewers and approvers as a Workday transaction moves through a business process.
Currently, purchase requisitions and spend authorizations are reported on the weekly confirmation email sent out to Principal Investigators (PI) on their relevant Grants. Additionally, non-PO Invoices and Expense Reports without Spend Authorizations will start to be included during the month of October. This is to ensure that our PIs can review additional non-personnel charges against their Grants via this weekly reporting.
