Vendor Onboarding

Mines has launched a new streamlined onboarding process for all external payees. This new system serves as the primary portal for new vendors, suppliers, and non-affiliated individuals requesting reimbursements, ensuring a more efficient and secure registration experience.

If you are a supplier, or need to provide PaymentWorks information to a supplier, please visit the “PaymentWorks Vendor Portal” by clicking the button below. 

New Onboarding Processes

PaymentWorks

We have implemented PaymentWorks to automate and simplify onboarding for new suppliers, and service providers, ensuring a more efficient path to payment.  A “supplier” is any business or individual who is providing goods and/or services and is not a miscellaneous payee.

If the supplier is not already established in Workday, an invitation will need to be sent to the Supplier via PaymentWorks.  Please see “PaymentWorks Onboarding” below for instructions.

OnBase

Mines has implemented a new payment Information Intake Form via OnBase for non-employee payees. This secure digital process is required for Misc Payees, External Committee Member (ECM), One-Time Payments, Non-Employee Reimbursements.  These payments may include travel reimbursements, or honoraria.  This process is not for standard suppliers providing goods or services. Suppliers are onboarded via PaymentWorks.

The below OnBase Form should be sent to payees to complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PaymentWorks?

PaymentWorks is an easy-to-use cloud-based vendor portal. PaymentWorks handles the collection, validation, and management of all vendor information.

Why is the use of PaymentWorks important?

As risks around payments fraud increase, Mines recognizes the importance of ensuring supplier data is accurate and secure. PaymentWorks allows for continuous monitoring and updating of information while preventing fraudsters from compromising existing vendor records and redirecting payments.

What are the benefits of using PaymentWorks?

Vendors and organizations that receive payments from Mines will now have a streamlined process for managing their profile and contact information, securely entering and updating banking information, selecting preferred payment method, and updating important tax documents.

How do I get to PaymentWorks?

Access to PaymentWorks can be found through the my.mines portal. You can search “PaymentWorks” at the top.

How do I know if a vendor is in PaymentWorks?

To check if a supplier is in PaymentWorks, follow Steps 1-5 in the “PaymentWorks Onboarding” section above. 

If the supplier is active, you may use the search on the “Vendor Profiles” tab.

Am I able to invite a supplier to register in PaymentWorks?

Yes! All Mines employees will have the ability to log into PaymentWorks via single sign on (SSO), and send an invitation to a supplier in order to register.  To send an invitation, follow the instructions in “PaymentsWorks Onboarding” above. 

Do I need to send an invitation to a supplier if they are already a supplier in Workday?

No. You do not need to send an invitation to suppliers who are already a supplier Workday.  Current suppliers are being added to PaymentWorks and will receive a special email instructing them to verify their company and banking information.  

 For all current vendors, we are doing a partial load of their info into PW, and we will be sending out special invites for them to link their PW accounts.  They will still be in Workday and payable without a linked account.  The main issue will be if they need to update their remit.  They will need to set-up their PW account, and if they haven’t verified their account by June, it may affect their ability to receive payment. 

When does campus need to invite a vendor vs when is MAPS inviting vendors?

MAPS will take the lead on getting existing vendors into PaymentWorks. If campus has a new vendor needing to be onboarded, the campus partner will need to initiate the new vendor invitation within Payment Works.

For purchase orders, from March 10, 2026 onward, the Procurement team will initiate new vendor invitations for all vendors associated with a PO.

For non-PO payments, campus requestors will need to initiate new vendor invitations for any invoice payment under $5k (i.e. Direct Pays).

Who is responsible for the onboarding once the invitation is sent?

The campus initiator is responsbile for sending and monitoring the invitation to the supplier.  This includes ensuring that the email was valid and delivery did not fail, resending the invitation if the supplier has not opened the email, and following-up with the supplier if they have not submitted their registration information. 

Once the supplier has submitted their information, the vendoring team is responsible for assisting with and approving the validation and verifcation.  If there is an issue with the supplier’s submitted information, the vendoring team will work with the supplier to correct the issue. 

If a supplier is experiencing issues with their account, or submitting information, the supplier must contact PaymentWorks support directly.  Mines does not have access to the PaymentWorks onboarding form or supplier account information in order to assist with system issues. 

How will I know when the vendoring process is complete?

PaymentWorks will send several status emails to campus initiators related to the status of vendor onboarding. When a campus initiator receives the “Payee Invitation Fully Onbarded” email, they can submit any necessary forms within TDX or WorkDay to initiate payment.

What is W9 vs W8?

W-9 forms are used by US residents/entities to certify their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) for income reporting (1099).

https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-w-9

 

W-8 forms are used by non-US individuals/entities to certify foreign status and claim tax treaty benefits, preventing default 30% withholding on US-source income.

https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-w-8-ben

 

 Both ensure proper IRS tax compliance.

What is bank documentation is acceptable?

Mines requires a bank document that includes the account holder’s name, account number, and routing number.

  • Voided check
  • Voided deposit slip
  • Letter from your bank
  • Copy of a bank account statement (account balances may be redacted)
When will Mines start withholding payments for suppliers who are not in PaymentWorks?

Mines is requiring that all suppliers register within PaymentWorks by May 31, 2026. Prior to this deadline, suppliers currently in Workday will continue to receive payment.
