Included in your planning for the upcoming holiday break, please ensure that your department’s requests for pre-break payments are forwarded timely for processing. During this high volume time, we ask that all requests for vendor payments, employee reimbursements, etc. be forwarded as soon as possible.

We will make every effort to generate pre-break payments for all requests received by the end of day on Monday, December 18. Requests for payment received after that time may not be processed until after break as our efforts will be focused on those received by the deadline. Please allow additional time for us to process requests for new or international payees due to potential tax or other compliance issues that may arise.

Please make faculty, staff, or others who submit payment requests for your area, aware of this timing. Also, please consider using your Procurement Card for eligible, small dollar transactions.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the processing of your requests during this time, please contact us. If you have an emergency payment situation that may arise during the break, please notify us at acctpay@nd.edu which will be monitored.

On a personal note, I will be retiring at the end of December. It has been wonderful working with all of you over the past 21 years. Take care!

From all of us in Accounts Payable, Happy Holidays!
