I spent about an hour today rearranging the files and random papers in my office. Why you ask? Because I was given 2 more binders to keep in my office. I know, it seems silly.

The reason is that the business office/cash receipts job has become slightly more involved lately. A couple of weeks ago we found I was able to input payment data from long ago into our Cash Receipts database. Since then I have been getting stacks of payments to input. It's not hard and doesn't take long, I just had to figure out the best system to enter and file these payments. So that's an extra stack of papers in my office.

And today, the IAT payments were dumped on me. These are the electronic transfers that come into the college. We have to verify the payments, match them up with invoices, then enter them into the Cash Receipts database. That's where the 2 binders come from. I have to figure out a system to enter and file these payments.

Some of you may remember that I was actually hired to do Accounts Payable. When I got this job it was agreed that I would keep the cash receipts that I had been doing as temp. This is due to the "the person who does the billing or the collections (for late payments) cannot also do cash receipts." Since there IS no one else in the department, I get to do receipts and payables. Yay me!

Most days it's not bad, but I've definitely been noticing an increase in the Receipt side of my work lately. I had to change the percentages in my work profile to reflect the increase. I need to get paid more. :)
