U-M Health Timekeepers & Approvers Weekly Update: April 18, 2024

Importance of Standardized and Compliant Pay Practices

For those of us responsible for paying staff correctly and on time it is important to know and understand how each group of employees is to be paid and how timesheets are coded to accomplish an accurate paycheck. There are many pay policies, contracts, and federal and state regulations to be consistently applied for each employee type.  

Our organization is subject to audits from federal, state and departments internal to UM. Keep in mind that consistency in how we pay staff is an important factor and any changes to a pay practice must be reviewed and approved by HR-Payroll, your HR Business Partner, and possibly other teams or offices at Michigan Medicine. The reason for this approval is to ensure we are not in violation of any policies, contracts or federal and state regulations or other factors and to ensure critical parties are aware of the changes. 

Together we must work to standardize and consistently and accurately apply pay practices across all departments at Michigan Medicine.
