Planon: What happens when a Work Order is cancelled in Planon or PMFS
When an order is cancelled, all the hours that are on the order get cancelled as well and the charges do not get billed. Since it is no longer considered active work, employees won't succeed when trying to enter any time against it.
It is important to ensure that time is only entered against active work orders to accurately track the time and resources being used for a specific project or task.
If a client tells you our support is no longer required and the issue has been resolved, please complete the Work Order instead of cancelling it.
Seminar: Everything you need to know about occupational sensitization
Whether you work in a lab, animal facility, workshop, museum — or even an office, you may come into contact with sensitizers at your workplace that can trigger an allergic response following contact and damaged immune response with repeated exposure.
UBC Safety & Risk Services has invited industry and academia experts to educate the community on why sensitization is an important workplace safety issue and how to protect yourself.

Weekly Emergency Tip: Do you have earthquake insurance?
In Canada, there are 4,000 recorded earthquakes each year.
Earthquake insurance accounts for 5% to 50% of insurance premiums depending on where you live, which may explain why less than 65% of British Columbians who live in high-risk areas have this added protection. Since insurance is available for this type of event, earthquake damage is not eligible for Disaster Financial Assistance.
Learn more about what to do following an earthquake on the UBC Emergency Preparedness website and the Government of Canada website.
