Re: Time and Effort Documentation David Ngo 26 Jan 2010 20:14 EST

At UW, Effort certification in the ECRT system is a two-step process: 1)
the faculty or staff member certifies the statement, and 2) it must then
be reviewed and processed by an Effort Coordinator.  Until the Effort
Coordinator has reviewed the certification and submitted it to RSP, the
certification is not complete.

The information to substantiate the effort percentages is housed in the
system in terms of project information, commitments/proposing effort,
distribution of effort, expending effort, charging salary, payroll
information, cost share information along with the actual certification.
 The certification is the actual effort, up to the sum of the paid and
unpaid commitments.  Changes in commitments and documentation of that is
done at the central office.

Hope this helps...

What does your  institution require employees to maintain (if any)  for
supporting documentation to substantiate the effort percentages charged
to sponsored projects on their time and effort certification.

Thank you
