A-21 requires different levels of verification based upon the type of payroll system that you have in place. See: J. General provisions for selected items of costs 10. Compensation for personal services b. Payroll distribution, and c. Examples of acceptable methods for payroll distribution In a nutshell, it is only if you use Plan Confirmation that an annual verification is acceptable. However, there are two other methods (After the Fact Activity Records and Multiple Confirmation Records) that require verification each academic term, but no less frequently than every six months. We use After the Fact Activity Records and verify twice per year for our least active faculty/staff. Our most active faculty and staff use a beginning of the month estimate and an end of the month verification that are signed-off by the employee and their supervisor. The auditors love it.
