Administrator Payroll Information

Schedules of Payroll Cut-Off Dates

•  Monthly Payroll Schedule of Cut-Off Dates and Pay Dates for Position / Appointment and Additional Pay Forms (2012) (PDF PDF)
•  Biweekly Kronos Schedule (2012) (PDF PDF)

Funding and Journals

Funding for positions and temporary employees and journal entries have been deployed to departments using FASIS. 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.

•  FASIS Journals (PDF PDF)
•  Salary Distribution Adjustment (SDA) for Nine-Month Faculty Appointment (Excel spreadsheet has many tabs for instructions and different versions for under and over 90 days and based on monthly or totals to enter.)
•  SDA Training Materials from recent training sessions in August, 2010
•  90 Day Letter for any SDAs later than 90 days from earnings begin date

Benefit Rates

There are multiple fringe benefit rates that may be applied to payroll payments depending on the account. These rates may change each fiscal year. More information on university accounts and employee fringe benefit rates can be found on the Office of Budget Planning web site.
