July Month is closed; August Month End Close will be Wednesday, August 21. TSERS rate change, Multistate Tax Reminder, Purchasing Thresholds and How to Build a Better Requisition, and ARC3 and Airgas price increases.

Southwest® is proud to partner with UNC-Chapel Hill to give you a chance to win Rapid Rewards® points!  And two lucky participants will also win round trip air travel!

A new Mandatory State Term Contract was implemented with ARC3 and Airgas in March 2022 and subsequent changes to the state pricing were submitted in July. There have been significant increases in the cost of products, including a sharp rise in the price of liquid Nitrogen, cylinder rentals (Airgas) and additional surcharges to ease inflationary pressures associated with production and delivery of these products. These increases have already been incorporated into the punchout catalogs of the two compressed gas vendors and have likely been noted on recent invoices. 

To help campus adjust to new purchasing benefits and opportunities, the Purchasing Services team held a webinar to educate users on the new purchasing environment. If you were unable to attend, or you would like to review the information, you can access both the slides and the webinar on the ConnectCarolina user information page.

To notify Payroll of an out-of-state employee, please submit the form “Notice of Employee Working Outside of North Carolina” to MultistateTax@unc.edu and one of our Tax Team members will process the information.  The best time to submit this form is before an employee has been paid for work out of state.  However, all cases should be reported as soon as they are identified to best comply with various state requirements.
