    • Graduate Students 
      • Start Date is the first day of the term the student is certifying (01/01/20XX, 05/01/20XX, or 09/01/20XX).
      • End Date is the last day of the term, or the last day worked, whichever is earlier.
    • Regular Employees 
      • Start Date is the first day of the fiscal year the employee is certifying, i.e. 07/01/20XX.
      • End date is the last day of the fiscal year, or the last day worked, whichever is earlier.
    • If report is incorrect, unit administrator (or designee) initiates a DBE correction. Be sure to add a comment in the notes section that the change is required for effort reporting.
  2. Employee signs own Effort Certification Report and returns it to the unit administrator (or designee).
     
  3. Unit Administrator (or designee) sends signed Effort Certification Report to the Payroll Office.
