Over Payment Warning What is a Default account? A monthly employee assignment is allowed in the HRMS system regardless of funding availability. 16 Default accounts were established in November 2009 to cover employee assignments to accounts with insufficient funding. – – Allows timely payment and allocation of fringe benefits for monthly salaried employees. Monitored by Default Account Owners and Budget. Default accounts should be used as a last resort option at payroll processing time. – Departments are required to clear entries reported in default accounts in a timely manner. Default Account Owners Vice Presidents have the fiduciary responsibility to assure sufficient annual budget to fund all salary costs. Divisional Financial Officers are responsible for review and reconciliation of default accounts on a regular basis and to ensure modify documents are timely processed using appropriate funding sources. Year End Deadline for Clearing Default Account Encumbrances Encumbrance balances in Default Accounts must be funded prior to payroll processing. Default account balances MUST be ZERO by July 31st 2012 and remain zero for the remainder of FY 2012. Budget Office provides oversight working closely with Divisional Financial Officers and Default Account Owners on a monthly basis. For more information, refer to FMOG Section 10: Budget Approvals for Assignments – HRMS Default Account Maintenance HUMAN RESOURCES 2012-2013 Reassignments All assignments without an end date in HRMS will automatically rollover to the new fiscal year. ‒ Any employee’s assignment not continuing into the next fiscal year, needs to be terminated in HRMS. Any assignments with an end date in HRMS of 8/31/2012 will automatically expire on 8/31/2012. ‒ ‒ Any employee expected to continue working into the next fiscal year, needs to be reassigned in HRMS. Reassignments must be completed otherwise the employee will not get paid after 8/31/2012. 2012-2013 Reassignments VERY IMPORTANT: ALL RETURNING BENEFITS ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES must have their FY 2012 reassignment FINAL APPROVED by 5:00 PM on 8/31/2012. ‒ Please do not create the assignment on 8/31/2012 and expect it to be approved by 5:00. You must give time for the document to route. If assignment is not final approved by 5:00 pm on 8/31/2012, their benefits may terminate. Current benefits eligible employees with an assignment end date of 8/31/2012. ‒ Open-ended assignments will automatically rollover and won’t impact benefits. 2012-2013 Reassignments Students must be reassigned for the fall semester. ‒ Cannot extend summer assignment to the fall. ‒ Enrollment must be verified prior to assigning. ‒ This is done at the department level – Not HR. ‒ Cannot exceed 19 or 20 hours (depending on title), while enrolled in classes. ‒ All student assignments, with the exception of GRA’s, GA’s and TA’s, can be assigned for the fall & spring. GRA, GA, TA Assignments GRA & GA assignments have to be FYA’d to the Graduate School at “TA/GRA APP” ‒ TA assignments will automatically route to the Graduate School. Must be reassigned for the fall semester. Cannot exceed 20 hours while enrolled in classes.

Effective 9/1/2011: Benefits eligible students will have to pay 50% of medical cost ‒ Departments CANNOT force an employee to waive benefits Enrollment Requirements Title Fall/Spring Summer Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) 6 hours 3 hours Graduate Assistant (GA) 6 hours 3 hours Student Assistant (work-study) 6 hours See Financial Aid Teaching Assistant (TA) 6 hours 3 hours Undergraduate Research Assistant (URA) 9 hours 6 hours Checking Document Routing and Status Concurrent Assignments The department needs to check if the employee has a concurrent assignment before routing a new assignment. If concurrent assignment is being ended or the hours are being modified by the other department, the remarks/notes need to be indicated as such. If there aren’t any notes indicating the concurrent assignment will be ending, or the hours are being modified, the document will be returned if the employee is over the hour limit. How to Check Concurrent Assignments Pooled Assignment Non- Pooled Assignment Work-Study Assignments Work-Study Assignments INCORRECT CORRECT Termination Reasons “End Assignment” is only used for pre-determined end dates. Reason is no longer “End Assignment” if employee leaves before original assignment end date. Termination Termination Payroll Vouchers are ONLY paid out on semimonthly payroll dates. For tenure & tenure-track faculty, benefits will expire on termination date regardless of quadruple deductions or salary spread. A non-tenure track (NTT) faculty has an end date in HRMS of 8/31/2012, however shows 5/31/2012 in DEFINE. ‒ Therefore, end date needs to be modified in HRMS if leaving prior to 8/31/2012 HRMS Online Tools Self-service tool for HRMS HRMS screenshots Accessible via HR Website ‒ Login using computer sign-on HR Important Dates August 3: Retroactive funding changes to HR.
