Summer Payroll Pre-Encumbrances on Grant Accounts:

• CLAS GMS is reviewing the PageUp and CORE transactions for all summer payroll on grant accounts.
• We are tracking all GAs and faculty on grant accounts and then saving pre-encumbrance edocs in KFS for the salary and fringe amounts on the grant accounts.
• You will be able to see these pre-encumbrances in the bi-weekly reports
• Once payroll has submitted the actual payroll encumbrance on the grant, we will then delete our pre-encumbrances from KFS.
• This will provide faculty with an accurate projection of their grant accounts before and during the summer.

We are currently in Spring Break and the end of the semester is growing closer. This is a great time to help CLAS Facilities with planning our summer projects. Please email your requests to CLASFSHelp@uconn.edu for consideration.
