HR / Time & Leave
Procurables & Payments, and Contract Manager
RFCUNY has developed a detailed set of memoranda outlining the key changes they've made to their processes in the following areas:
NOTE: Just because a timesheet can be submitted and approved, does not mean that an employee has an active appointment. Please double check that to ensure that your employee DOES get paid. You can check your employee's end date by going to their profile (search for their name), click on Job on the left column, then look for their "End Employment Date" under "Job Details" Tab. You can see what grant (formerly PRSY) they are being paid from by going to the Organization Tab intead, and looking for "Grant" under the "Organization Type Column".
NOTE 2: Hours can only be charged in increments of .25 hours, even for the last timesheet of an appointment - a change from the previous system. Same thing for Annual Leave. Moreover, per RFCUNY, with PI approval, employees may be advanced annual leave to the extend they will earn it, to not exceed 70 hours of annual leave. Thus, the system will allow the request even though they have not yet earned it.
(formerly in the ePAF System as a Modification/Renewal)
IMPORTANT: PLEASE ENSURE EFFECTIVE AND END DATES ARE CORRECT. WHEN IN DOUBT, CHECK WITH HR.
NOTE: There is a job aid that is called "How a PI or Manager Allocates Payroll Costing". I have been informed that this procedure does not work properly, so please use the job change functionality instead. At the moment, there isn't a way to have one job paid by two different grants; they would have to be two separate jobs.
(formerly in RF Onboarding System)
NOTE: This functionality may have some technical glitches, reach out to GSPHR@ccny.cuny.edu for assistance in hiring a new employee.
NOTE:
All grant numbers have changed. Use the Extract Grant Information to get a report of the new numbers for yourself as PI or your PI(s) as Authorized Signatory.
NOTE: There was a glitch on how fringe was charged for F1/J1 students for the first three pay dates of 2026. They have since resolved the issue for subsequent pay dates, but there has been no resolution for the overcharged past fringes.
that does not require a Purchase Order, now called "Supplier Invoice Request"
(formerly ePayment Request)
Now called "Expense Reports"
(formerly ePayment Request / Concur P-Card Reconciliation)
Now called "Expense Reports"
(formerly ePayment Request / Concur P-Card Reconciliation)
At the moment, the only way for you to submit an Expense Report for someone else is to have them delegate that functionality to you. This will likely change in the future as Workday does have a functionality called "Create Expense Report for Worker" that RFCUNY has not activated yet. See above section if someone has delegated their access to submit Expense Reports to you.
NOTE: RFCUNY has said that they would allow for individuals to submit reimbursements for others by using the "Create Supplier Invoice Request" functionality instead (see above). Suppliers/Vendors (individuals) would need to be registered in their Supplier System (JAGGAER) first, which is not immediate (exception would be if the supplier/vendor was in the legacy system, they should have transitioned over to Workday)
, now called "Create Receipt"
(formerly ePayment Request with PO Number/Encumbrance)
Note: You may encounter issues trying to do this with a legacy PO. If so, you should contact the P&P Contacts at the bottom of the page.
NOTE: After creating a receipt, the vendor will be paid, without the need for the invoice since there is already an approved PO.
You should still e-mail the invoice to RF_CUNYInvoices@rfcuny.org for invoice ingestion and include your receipt number.
There is currently not a OneRF functionality to do this, you do this in the Contract Manager system on the RFCUNY.org website.
NOTE: With the switch to OneRF, the process in which Contract Manager invoices are submitted has changed. Signed invoices are now submitted directly by the payee (suppliers) via email to RFCUNY_ContractManagerInvoices@rfcuny.org.
After invoices are submitted to the email, a transaction will be sent to the Principal Investigator and Authorized Signatories for review and approval. Checking the process history would yield the transaction history of the transaction.
NOTE: The process to obtain a PO is taking several weeks (4-6), unless you expedite it by emailing the P&P contacts below. Please plan accordingly.
(formerly Service Center Invoices payments that were done manually via e-mail.)
NOTE: From my understanding, ISD has not been fully set up yet, so there are many service invoices that are unable to be paid. I am not sure what RFCUNY's resolution is on that.
