Payroll staff Employee time data through June 30th must be approved by July 17, 2023. Pursuant to G.S. 143B-426.40H, the Office of the State Controller (OSC) is preparing the State’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). The OSC HR/Payroll team utilizes time data for the year-end Compensated Absences Report which is an integral part of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Vacation and bonus leave balances from the State’s HR/Payroll system on June 30, 2023, is used in this process and must be up-to-date. Therefore, all HR-Payroll (aka Beacon)-serviced agencies must ensure that employee time data through June 30 is recorded, released and approved no later than Monday, July 17, 2023. Agencies following the OSC recommendation of employees entering time and managers approving it weekly will not have to make any changes to accomplish this. Final reports for Annual Comprehensive Financial Report use will be produced on July 21, 2023. The Compensated Absence Report will no longer be sent to the agencies except by special request through BEST Shared Service Center, (BEST@osc.nc.gov) or 919-707-0707. |

All BOBJ reports (Webi, Crystal, and Lumira) are working when using the updated Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome versions. Latest versions are: For Chrome, DIT managed users will get updated next Wednesday. For non-DIT managed agencies, please contact your IT support. |
2/14/23 | 12:45 PM |
Issue: Users with Edge and Chrome browser version 110 or higher are unable to run BOBJ reports. These users can access the BOBJ system, select report criteria, but the report never displays, and the web page keeps loading indefinitely. Impacted Population: It appears that updates to Edge and Chrome are currently being pushed out by DIT and the agencies. A user could be on version 109 today and work fine, then be updated to version 110 tomorrow and not be able to access reports. Unfortunately, we don’t have an automated way to know which BOBJ users have these browser versions. Troubleshooting and Potential Work Around: If a user is experiencing issues, please validate the browser and version being used. Have the user validate the alternate browser’s version. If below 110, they should be able to access BOBJ from that browser as a work around. If both Chrome and Edge are versions 110 or higher, please have user try a non-Chromium based browser (such as Firefox). If none of these options work, the user will temporarily be unable to access BOBJ. |

NCAS agencies: Payroll staff As reported last Friday (10/1/2021), the HR-Payroll System experienced a system issue that affected the timeliness of the payroll posting to NCAS, and reimbursement through requisitioning. We were unable to provide the postings today (10/4/2021) as previously anticipated. We continue to work on a fix to submit the entries to NCAS, with payroll posting to September and benefits posting in October. To help determine the amounts pending, use the ZFIR018 (SAP Payroll Postings to FI/CO Report) using only run number 74736. We are diligently working toward a solution and appreciate your patience. |
