To the UMBC Grant Community,
This is a reminder that Effort Reports for Spring 2020 are available and ready for certification. The Spring 2020 period includes Payroll 2020015 through Payroll 2020026 (from January 05, 2020 through June 20, 2020). Certifications are due September 30, 2020.
Please remember that Effort Reports are both a Compliance Tool and a Grants Management Tool. After reviewing payroll charges, work with your business managers if any changes are needed. Payroll cost transfers (retros) must be processed prior to certification of Effort Reports.
To find out whether you have open effort reports (see page 6, Year: 2020 Period: Spring) and to learn how to certify them, see the attached updated Effort Report Quick Reference Guide with screenshots and contact information for your convenience.
Your timely commitment to this process is appreciated.
