Team GRSi,

Since our integration journey began three months ago, DLH and GRSi have remained dedicated to protecting business momentum, minimizing interruption, and accelerating collaboration across our unified enterprise.

Aligning our financial systems and processes are keys to achieving this vision. In the coming weeks, GRSi will adopt Microsoft Business Central (“Business Central”) as its enterprise financial system – replacing Deltek Costpoint. The migration to Business Central includes time and expense submission and approval.



While we are taking all steps possible to simplify this process for our employees, this aspect of our integration does have numerous components. Throughout the next month, we will be communicating frequently to ensure you have access to training documents, specific instructions, and interactive training sessions.

Resources are available to assist you with this process change. Please reach out to hr@grsi.com with any questions.

A DLH email address, which is required to enter Business Central, will be provided by April 6, 2023.

All GRSi employees will receive a DLH account. A generic password, which must be changed when you log in for the first time, will be provided as well.

At this time, all GRSi employees will continue to use their GRSi account for email correspondence. Messages sent to your DLH account will be forwarded automatically to your GRSi email address. As such, you will only need to check your GRSi email account. Later this summer, IT will be fully integrated and your DLH email address will become your primary email, allowing you to access DLH resources including calendars, Microsoft Teams, the OneDLH intranet, and more. 

Two-step authentication – powered by the Microsoft Authenticator App – will be required to log in to Business Central.  IT will provide instructions and support for downloading the application by April 6, 2023.

GRSi will migrate to Business Central with a go-live date of Monday, April 24. All time and expense reports from that point forward need to be entered into Business Central.

Timesheet Submission & Approval

Timesheet submission will move from the bi-weekly process currently in place to a weekly timesheet submission. There will also be a timesheet cutoff on the last day of each month. Note that the frequency of your paycheck is unaffected by this change in timesheet periods. All timesheets must be approved by Managers by 10 AM EST on the business day following timesheet cutoff, so your diligence in daily timesheet completion is important.

• Interactive training modules through KnowBe4 and on-demand video training will be provided.
• Live Business Central Timesheet Training for GRSi Employees will be available on April 26, April 27, and April 28. Event invitations will follow.

Dedicated training documents and interactive sessions are available for Managers as well. To reiterate, all time sheets must be submitted by employees prior to 10 AM EST on the business day following timesheet cutoff (typically Monday), so as to facilitate prompt manager approval.

• Live Business Central Approval Training for Managers featuring opportunities for Q&As will be available on April 25 and May 1. Event invitations will follow.
• Interactive training modules through KnowBe4 and on-demand video training will be provided.

Expenses Report Submission & Approval

All expenses incurred from April 24 forward will be submitted and approved through Business Central. Manual expense reports and receipts for expenses through April 23 will not be accepted by Accounts Payable after April 28 – such reimbursement requests will need to go through Business Central.

• Live Expense Training for Employees will be available on May 2, May 3, and May 4. Event invitations will follow.
• Interactive training modules through KnowBe4 and on-demand video training will be provided.

While DLH employs a weekly timesheet submission schedule, both DLH and GRSi utilize bi-weekly payroll schedules. These calendars are not currently aligned. As such, we will standardize our enterprise-wide payroll calendars in the coming weeks:

• GRSi employees will receive a paycheck on May 5 for work completed from April 10 to April 23 from timesheets entered in CostPoint.
• GRSi employees will receive a paycheck on May 12 for work completed from April 24 to May 6th, from timesheets entered in Business Central, aligning to the DLH bi-weekly payroll calendar.
• After May 12, all bi-weekly employees will receive their paycheck based on the schedule provided in the tables below.

This transition has no impact on the total amount paid to each employee bi-weekly. Any deductions, benefits, or time off accruals will remain unchanged.

The table below provides the pay dates for the remainder of calendar year 2023.

Thank you very much for your attention to this important process change.
