3 Safety Moment: Common Sense Safety

4 Common Sense Safety Taking safety seriously means paying attention to every part of your job and what goes on around you. Ignored hazards can result in injury. SAFETY DO Know safety rules and regulations. Pay attention to what you are doing. Treat safety as an important part of your job. Remind other workers about safety procedures. Pay attention during safety meetings and training. Ask Questions about work or procedures you do not understand. SAFETY DO NOT Do not assume safety is someone else’s job. Do not ignore safety hazards. Do not fool around or horseplay. Do not be overconfident with jobs you have done many times. Do not use equipment in ways for which it was not intended. Do not get pressured into ignoring safety procedures because of tight schedules. MOST ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED BY A FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE! Safety Moment

5 Common Sense Safety - Careless
Reasons people get careless: Complacency: Going on “auto-pilot” because you have done the job so often. Emotions: Being angry at something that happened at home or work. Fatigue: Too little sleep or too many hours at work. Not appreciating risks: Not enough training or not paying attention during training. Reckless attitude: Thinking that safety is not important or does not apply to you. Safety Moment

27 Monthly Calendar Conversion Unit Controller Calls
June 2017 Monthly Close Calendar (Wendy Cano – PM from FSS SAP Initiatives)

28 Monthly Calendar Conversion Update
Where are we in the conversion? Created and published the FY18 and FY19 monthly fiscal calendars Notification letters went out to… 2905 US Clients 161 Canadian Clients 324 SodexoMagic Clients 84 Brands 221 Subcontractors Testing phase Successfully tested 419 SAP and Reporting test scripts Logged and fixed 21 defects Successfully tested a mock monthly close week schedule Successfully completed integration testing with several impacted peripheral systems

29 The New Sales Accrual A new program will be implemented to accrue for the service days which are not billed in the previous month by the cutoff date of BD+2 (Business Day 2). The program will look at the billing status in Fiori to determine if the accrual is needed The program will compute the number of days to accrue based on the difference between the ‘settlement to’ date and the month end date, then multiply by the average daily accrual rate The average daily accrual rate will be calculated by referencing the last posted invoice for the previous settlement period and divide by the number of days in the billing cycle The accrual will post to the GL accounts utilized on the last posted invoice and post to the month end date as a reversing entry and will reverse on the first day after close If an invoice will not be generated for the last week of the period, then it is critical to ‘skip’ the billing date to prevent the program from posting the accrual to the financial results

30 Skipping a Billing Record
There may be times when a Fiori user should not bill for a particular Billing Record in their billing schedule. To skip a Billing Record (Date) the Fiori user should use the button labeled “Skip Billing Date” when that Billing Record is in due status Clicking this button will cause an additional dialog box to appear asking the Fiori user why the particular Billing Record should be skipped. The user should select the reason which best applies to their situation: Temp Close Scheduled Temp Close Emergency Dispute/Negot Pending Dispute/Negot Waived Other After selecting a reason code, clicking Confirm will complete the Skip Date process. Clicking Cancel will return the user to the prior screen (no action taken).

31 The New Sales Accrual

32 The New Payroll Accrual
With the changes from the fiscal calendar to a monthly fiscal calendar, the US Payroll Labor Wage Accrual Process will be automated to post for both weekly and bi-weekly payroll cycles in SAP, two Business Days (BD+2) after the last day of the month. Posting is for direct and indirect units This process will use available payroll data from the Kronos database for actual days worked and processed in Kronos Kronos will create the accrual file based on the totals for pay codes with associated dollars applied to the worked cost center for the calendar days between the close of the last pay cycle and the last day of the calendar month The data contains just payroll related data, no general ledger (Paid Time Off) accruals An accrual for the Benefit Posting will be a prorated amount of the previous Friday’s Aon Hewitt GL posting The program will determine the number of days in the last week of the month

33 The New Payroll Accrual – Key Notes
Your current payroll cycles will not change with the move to a monthly fiscal calendar You must enter and save your time in Kronos by 12:00 pm EST on BD+2 in order for it to be included in the accrual calculation The existing automated Canadian Payroll Accrual will be updated to reflect the new monthly calendar

34 The OSI Change Beginning August 12th 2017 users will not be able to enter and transmit payroll accrual data from the OSI module in UFS, as payroll data will be sent from Kronos to SAP.
