Late Timesheet Approvals of Grant-Funded Appointments

Departmental Research Support Services (DRSS) asks Principle Investigators (PIs) to certify the accuracy of hourly timesheets for grant-funded appointments. If a PI does not respond to DRSS by the regular payroll processing deadline, the timesheet is temporarily approved on the department's Education and General fund (G01) index. This ensures that the employee receives their paycheck like normal and that they are not penalized by their supervisor's lack of response. The department chair and PI will receive an e-mail from DRSS explaining that the hours will be moved to the grant index as soon as the PI verifies the reported hours.
