Office News

Welcome to a new week! We have a few things to announce this week.

Good News

• We are moving to Justworks for our Payroll and Benefits Package! This is not just Good News, this is GREAT News! Anyone who gets paid through GR1 Group LLC will join Justworks this month, and those who get paid through GRPM will be joining Justworks later in the year.

• Today we will be having a webinar to provide you with an opportunity to get your questions answered about the new system and more details on the Benefits that are going to be offered through Justworks. If you want to get a headstart on the webinar, you will find a copy of the slideshow here.

Not so good news - Two of our team members have left us this past week, we wish them the best on all their future endeavors. Solly and Mario, who stayed with us for a very short amount of time.

Software Updates and New Features

• ERAP Project in RM - We have been recently working on the ERAP Project (NYS Emergency Rental Assistance Program) and we have had the need to find W-9's and Direct Deposit Information for most properties, plus the need to keep track of these applications.

  • This past week we have added the W-9 to most residential Buildings and the Wire Transfer Information that has the information that you would need to set up direct deposit for these accounts. You can find these attachments in the User Defined Fields of the Properties in Rent Manager.

  • Also, a Category called ERAP has been created in the notes. This is useful so that we can run reports to be able to see which tenants have applied and the status of them. Please enter information related to the ERAP in the history notes when updates happen and transfer the relevant information to RM that you have been tracking in the spreadsheets as a secondary measure.

• American Express Orders - I would like to clarify the rules of Office Purchases. At this time the process we are following is not the best, however, until the process gets improved I would like to make clear some requirements that need to happen when making purchase with American Express.

  1. Requests for Purchases must be made via the # purchases-amex channel in Slack. A property manager must not ask an office rep to make any purchases for them if it's not in the Slack Channel.

  2. If a Super asks the Office Rep to purchase a supply through the ticket system, this should be noted in the Slack channel and approved by the Property Manager.

  3. If the office rep does not have their own amex card, they must use the card of the Property Manager and they will be responsible for providing the receipt through the # amex-receipt channel in Slack. Please let me know if you have any questions.
