PEOPLEPAY OVERVIEW

PeoplePay is a web-based tool available to all faculty and staff who make requests for payments to individuals. A link to PeoplePay will be added to Wolverine Access (under the University Business) on February 18, 2008

The Forms G and G-2 (used to request special payments to individuals) are replaced by existing payment processes and, in some cases, new specialized forms that help us ensure that we meet legal and policy requirements for these expenditures. PeoplePay was designed to make it simple to determine which of these forms to use to initiate payment and ensure that the payment meets the requirements of the University and IRS rules governing the taxation of payments to individuals.

PeoplePay is the only process to be used for the purchase of services from individuals. PeoplePay is also used to pay individuals for honoraria, royalties, prizes, gifts, and awards. Some PeoplePay transactions will be processed by the University’s Payroll department and some through Procurement Services by the use of ePro requisitions or Non-PO vouchers. The PeoplePay tool navigates users to the appropriate process for each transaction.

PeoplePay transactions processed through Procurement Services are subject to all University procurerment policies, including the competitive bid process.

PeoplePay Procurement Transaction Training

Some PeoplePay transactions are processed through procurement as ePro requisitions or Non-PO vouchers. Online training and job aids for these transaction types are available on MyLINC (accessed through Wolverine Access).

PRE106—Creating a PeoplePay eProcurement Requisition in M-Pathways is a new course and will be available on MyLINC on February 11, 2008.
