Signature

Is the PAR signed by either the employee or a responsible official who has firsthand knowledge of the work performed?

  • If the PAR is for an academic employee, has it been approved by another academic employee? For example, an MSO may not sign for the department chair.

Completion

Is Section II, Effort Distribution, filled in with percent of effort annotated for each fund?

If changes were made to the payroll information in Section I or the distribution of effort in Section II, are they noted in Section III, Notes/ Explanations?

100% distribution

Does the effort distribution total 100%?

Consistency

Is the effort listed consistent with payroll documents?

Multiple departments

If the employee worked in more than one department, has a supervisor or responsible official from each department signed the PAR?
