AIC Year End Invoice Help
As year-end quickly approaches, now is the time to check for the status of any past due invoices you may have through the
AIC website.
You can view and pay bills by going to our homepage and clicking on the VIEW OR PAY YOUR BILL button (gray button under "Welcome" section) on the home page. For most county officials the system currently only allows the Auditor to access invoicing and all paid transactions.
Once selecting the
VIEW OR PAY YOUR BILL button, you will then be taken to the
Members Only page where your user name and password will need to be entered. From there, click on PAY YOUR BILLS. The system will forward you to the Online Bill Pay Screen where any open invoices will be listed under OPEN INVOICES.
If there are OPEN INVOICES, you may view them by selecting each item and then select either VIEW or PAY (check the box above VIEW).
Should you need a copy of an invoice paid by credit card, scroll down on that same screen to see these invoices. They will appear under the payment information box in the TRANSACTION HISTORY FOR YOUR COUNTY. Please contact Pam Coleman at
[email protected]
if you need assistance in checking for outstanding invoices.
With the budget year closing soon, it is very important to review outstanding invoices, whether ours or others, to ensure they are attributed to the correct budget year. As always, please feel free to contact Pam Coleman for any assistance needed.

APEX Health Benefits Tip
Can a morning ritual really make you more productive, successful and happier? Researcher, and best-selling author, Shawn Achor thinks so! In his book The Happiness Advantage, Shawn reveals that our brains are hardwired to perform their best when they are in a positive mindset. Below are three simple, yet effective strategies to enhance both your personal and professional life.
- Start your day in the right mindset - Before you check work emails or head into the office, try exercising, meditation, eating a nutrient-rich breakfast or playing with your kids. Taking the opportunity to control what you can will help manage your mood and big-picture perspective.
- Pursue a passion daily - Whether you are passionate about people, purpose, or a past-time, find a way to incorporate it into your schedule. The most joyful people always have an optimistic anticipation or something to look forward to build into their week.
- Throw gratitude around like it's confetti - In the fast-paced world that we live in today, appreciation has become the exception, not the norm. Saying "thank you" with a smile on your face or sending a "job well done" email provides as much joy to the sender, as it does to the recipient.
In Good Health,
