Frequently Asked Questions
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Why does the Burden Schedule Multiplier show different rates for different tasks? Why is the Burden Schedule Multiplier different from the award indirect cost rate? |
A burden schedule can be applied at the award, project, or task level. All awards have a burden schedule applied, but there may or may not be burden schedule overrides applied at the project or task level. The Burden Schedule and Burden Schedule Multiplier show the lowest-level information.
For more information about burden schedule overrides, see Understanding Burden Schedules on the SPF STaRT tool. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Why don't my numbers match throughout each section of the dashboard? |
There are a few situations in which numbers may slightly differ among sections of the dashboard. Examples include:
The Payroll Reconciliation Toolkit provides great insight and links to other supporting documents for resolving payroll data discrepancies between systems or reporting. Also refer to the Correcting Discrepancies Between OFC General Ledger (GL) and UCPath Labor Ledger (DOPE) Job Aid. |
What data is NOT included in the Payroll Details on my dashboard? | Expenses that post to Oracle from a system other than UCPath do not appear in the Payroll Details. These include, but are not limited to tuition remission, graduate and undergraduate student stipends and fees, NGN (Next Generation Network), and HS-TSC (Health Sciences Technology Services Charge). These items appear directly in the Cost Details section of this dashboard and may be associated with a person's name in the Oracle financial ledgers. |
Payroll Projection Details
The Payroll Projections section provides data for each employee as outlined in the table.
Cost Type | Data Included |
---|---|
Personnel Expenses | Salary amount calculated based on data entered in UCPath, including compensation amount, FTE percentage, job status, and funding distribution. Projection ends at the earliest of the budget period end date, job end date, or funding end date. |
Benefit Expenses | Calculated as Personnel Expense times the Composite Benefit Rate in effect for the person/job. |
Operating Expenses | Includes Next Generation Network (NGN), General Liability Program (GAEL) expenses, and Health Sciences Technology Services Charge (HS-TSC). These are calculated using the Personnel Expense amount, the funding distribution, and rules in place for whether or not these expenses will be charged for a particular person on a particular funding source. |
Tuition/Fee Remission | Calculated using the tuition remission rate in effect for the graduate student, distributed across all job codes where tuition remission is applied and across all funding sources. For example, if a student is simultaneously employed in a TA position and a GSR position, the full tuition remission amount will be distributed ratably across both positions, and further distributed between the funding sources applied to each position. |
Indirect Costs | Calculated against Personnel Expenses, Benefit Expenses, and Operating Expenses using the indirect cost rate in effect for the award/project/task. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Question | Answer |
---|---|
How is it determined when to end payroll projections? | Payroll projections end at the earliest of the Budget Period End Date, Job End Date, or Funding End Date (entered in the UCPath Funding Entry). If any of these dates occur mid-month, the projection is prorated for the last month. |
Are salary escalations applied? | Personnel Expenses are determined based on data in UCPath. If a future compensation rate change has been entered in UCPath, it will be captured on the report. The report does not artificially escalate salaries. |
Will the projections capture future-dated funding changes? | Yes. If a future dated Funding Entry has been entered in UCPath, the report will capture the funding distribution change. |
How can changes be made to the payroll projection end date? | The payroll projection extends through the earliest of the Budget Period End Date, Job End Date, or Funding End Date. The latter two of these dates are entered by departmental personnel in UCPath. If a person is leaving the position or will move to a different funding source at a future date, the Job End Date or Funding End Date can be updated in UCPath. Changes in UCPath will be reflected in the Payroll Projections the next day. |
