Lori,

UA Fairbanks is also a Banner HR and Finance user and we don't have a
linkage set up, for now. We have a subcommittee that is addressing
efforting reporting, and our avenue seems to be leading us down the path
to a separate electronic system. Just what that will be, I'm not sure.
We are sure, however, that we want it to be electronic so that faculty
can access it from anywhere, when the time is due. There are several
packaged deals out there - choose wisely, and see what else can be
thrown in for the price!

In the meantime, we're using good old hard copy of payroll timesheets as
official certification of effort spent.
