Verify that Funding Entry has correct FAU(s) and percentages for each distribution, or modify as needed.

Verify that each HR Department has a Default FAU (identified for posting any undistributed pay), or modify as needed.

Review pay and funding distributions periodically. 

Verify the percentage of pay distributed to each FAU in the Funding Entry page or via Cognos report.

Payroll Ledger reports should be reviewed regularly to ensure pay was posted as expected, and transferred timely if not.

Perform salary cost transfers accurately and timely. Keep Default (DEFLT), Suspense (SUSPN), and Edit Error (ERROR) Sub Accounts clean.

Dean’s Offices may want to monitor the Default (DEFLT), Suspense (SUSPN), and Edit Error (ERROR) Sub Account.

Lack to attention to the Default (DEFLT), Suspense (SUSPN), and Edit Error (ERROR) Sub Accounts is not a valid justification for transfers to federally-funded accounts after 120 days.

Review funding charged for retroactive pay transactions to ensure the appropriate FAU was charged. Retroactive transactions will have an EARN code that begins with ‘9’.

When Salary Cost Transfers (SCTs) are made, the Funding Entry history must be updated in order to facilitate clean retroactive pay increases (raises).
