Environment

Resolution

  • Effort certification is a retrospective confirmation or after-the-fact certification that the allocation of an individual’s actual time and effort spent on specific activities is correct.
  • The reports are generated by information entered into our financial system before payroll runs each month.
  • Since payroll is the basis for generating the reports, it is important that the payroll coding and allocation accurately reflects the effort on sponsored awards, including cost sharing.
