How are corrections made to Effort Reports?

Answer: 

Corrections to erroneous payroll distributions reflected on Effort Reports for earnings end dates of 10/4/2021 or later should be initiated via UCPath Salary Cost Transfer (SCT) requests. Certifiers should engage with their Post Award Research Administrator to initiate SCT requests via a UCM Payroll Services SCT submission. SCT adjustments will automatically post to Effort Reports in alignment with the UCPath Monthly/Bi-Weekly pay cycle run schedule.

Corrections to erroneous payroll distributions reflected on Effort Reports for earnings end dates of 10/3/2021 or prior are unable to be corrected via UCPath Salary Cost Transfer requests, and therefore, cannot adjust Effort Reports. Certifiers should engage with their Post Award Research Administrator to initiate a Financial Journal Entry Request to adjust these earnings. PPFM staff will automatically coordinate with the Principal Investigator to complete a certification of payroll expenses via an excel spreadsheet.
