Due to our current situation, staff salary will be paid directly from RECOFTC Account in the country program offices. This applies for all core funded positions, for the NORAD funded positions, the fund will be transferred from RECOFTC headquarters as usual.
To facilitate the process for all CPOs, please follow the below steps for December 2015 and January 2016 staff salary payment.
1. Prepare the detail of “Proposed Payroll Sheet”, and “Payroll Advance Request” as currently practice. These are support document always required for monthly payroll process.
2. Key in SAP “Payment Request” only for staff under core fund - PRF budget indicating the total amount of each expenses, namely ‘gross salary of core fund staff’, ‘compulsory social scheme’ (if apply), and ‘domestic bank transfer fee’.
3. Print out the “Payment Request” from SAP system and attach together with the supporting documents in item 1 for Country Program Coordinator’s approval.
4. Submit the electronically version of signed “Payment Request” together with supporting documents to HR and Administration Officer at RECOFTC headquarters. Once the internal approval by PROCO Manager (in case the value of the payment request is over USD 10,000), and CS Manager (as the staff cost budget is under CS) is completed, the document will be passed back to all AAOs.
5. Upon receiving the approved document, AAOs can withdraw money from the assigned bank account and transfer/deposit to individual staff bank accounts on the pay day.
6. Only salary under NORAD budget (If any) will be transferred from the headquarters to the country programs. The process to request salary under NORAD budget will remain the same.
7. For any query re accounting process and/or how to key in SAP System, please contact Khun Hong.
Please let me know if there is any query you may have, so that we can process December's salary accordingly.
