Funding and Journals

Funding for positions and temporary employees and journal entries have been deployed to departments using HRIS. If a journal is over 90 days old, a paper journal must be submitted along with backup and 90 exception memo explaining why it is late. Paper journals are also necessary when crossing fiscal years or when involving some non-deployed departments. All paper journals should be submitted to the payroll office first for further forwarding to ASRSP or Accounting Services after our review.
