  1. Overview of Labor Distribution, Certification Reporting and Management Reports Presented by: HRS/Payroll Staff January 7, 2009 Professional Development Institute Session

  2. Payroll Cycle

  3. Labor Distribution/Labor Scheduling • All employees at the University must have the source of their compensation funding setup in Oracle. • The detail on how to setup funding can be found on the HRS website under Data Systems - HR System User Guide http://www.hrs.colostate.edu/datasys/oracle/3-NewHires.pdf • Maintenance of funding should be completed as needed but a review should be completed on all employees at the beginning of each fiscal year.

  4. Certification Reporting • Currently State and Federal grants and contracts represent 38% of the Total Operating Revenue of CSU • Certification Reporting provides auditable documents required for compliance and reimbursement to the University for grants and contracts • CSU requires that timecards and certification reports be retained for the current year +10 or two years after the project is ended. • Section 9 of the HRS Manual details Certification Reporting http://www.hrs.colostate.edu/hrsman/Section09-CertificationReporting.pdf

  5. FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS • The Certification report constitutes the primary basis for reimbursement to the university by the federal government of salaries applied directly to sponsored research, sponsored instruction, other sponsored activities, faculty research grants and other Federal funds. • OMB Circular A-21 establishes cost principles for educational institutions: -Be incorporated into the official records of the institution. -Reasonably reflect the activity for which the employee is compensated. -Encompass both sponsored and all other activities on an integrated basis but may include the use of subsidiary records. -Recognize the effort system of after‑the‑fact confirmation of determination for the distribution of costs. “In the use of any method for apportioning salaries, it is recognized that, in an academic setting, teaching, research, service and administration are often inextricably intermingled. A precise assessment of factors that contribute to costs is not always feasible, nor is it expected. Reliance therefore, is placed on estimates in which a degree of tolerance is appropriate.”

  6. Certification Reporting Report Content  The Certification Report shows by the quarterly period the amount and percentage of salary paid and charged to each account.   Period Covered  The Certification Reports cover each of the standard four quarters of the year and are mailed to the departments approximately one month after the quarter ends. Changes Changes to the distribution of activity for salaried employees are handled in two ways. • Changes to distribution for months not yet paid ‑ Changes of distribution for current or future months are made by departmental personnel, by going into the Labor Schedule screen, and changing the schedule lines. 2. Changes to distribution for months already paid ‑ Any changes to distributions for months already paid must be processed with a Past Period Distribution Adjustment.

  7. Signature and Report Submission • Certification reports will be distributed approximately one month after each quarter end. • The reports always require certification by the employee, Principal Investigator, supervisor or a responsible official who has firsthand knowledge of the work activities and sufficient technical knowledge to identify the efforts to specific activities and projects or has suitable means of verification that the work was performed • Submit original signed copies of the reports or the reports with a signed cover document (see page 9-4) to the Payroll Office by the date indicated on the Certification Report. • The multiple page certification cover document may be used to sign for all reports for all individuals assigned to a principal investigator or to a department head.
