For example, the individual has an active or terminated pernr that was charged a total of $8,333.36 for the period of 11/1/09 – 12/31/09. The training grant was approved 11/1/2009 but the change was not made in the appropriate calendar year. The annualized amount approved on the training grant is $10,000. $416.67 ($10,000/24) will be moved each pay period from 11/1/09 – 12/31/09 to the training grant ($1666.68) from the current funding source. No change in position status or earnings type is required/permitted.
If the Eform is processed on a wage pernr, fringe may be charged to the training grant. If this is not appropriate, please contact Payroll to request that the fringe dollars be moved to a different funding source (journal voucher).Initiate a Hire or return from loa/temp inactive ISR at the beginning of the current calendar year if earnings are to continue.

Switching between fellowship and wage earnings may be done without causing overpayments or jeopardizing funding requirements
Coordination w/Student Employment and/or HRSS is imperativeRetroactive changes within a calendar year are handled the same as changes made on time or in advance
All ISRs must be approved and completed within same pay cycle.
Retroactive changes back to a previous calendar year are handled differently and involve the completion of eforms to move dollars to correct funding sources.The presentation today covered a few of the most common scenarios.
For assistance with different scenarios, please contact Student Employment (Homewood Schools) or HRSS for assistance.
