For Faculty and Staff
Employees may have a Banner account for charges such as tuition & fees, health center charges, and other miscellaneous fees. All employees are responsible for paying balances on their account by the due date. Account balances that are 30 days past due or greater, are subject to the assessment of a late payment fee at a rate of 1.5% monthly (18% annually) on approximately the 15th of each month. Late payment fees will continue to be assessed monthly on any past-due balance until the account is current.

Please mail or give the customer their copy once completed and retain a copy for your department. Please forward a copy to Accounts Receivable by email to WMU-Billing@wmich.edu. Accounts Receivable will post the charges to the business account which will credit the revenue account and debit the receivable account. If your department has access to Banner to post its invoices, you do not need to forward a copy of the invoice to Accounts Receivable. However, Accounts Receivable may contact you for a copy of the invoice if the account becomes delinquent so retaining a departmental copy is necessary.
Please forward all payments for invoices loaded to Banner to Cashiering (with the WIN # on the check). This money should not be deposited into your fund and cost center. Your fund and cost center has already received credit for the revenue when the invoice was posted to the Business account on Banner.
