ATF Reports and Payroll Redistributions

Once an ATF report has been acknowledged for a certain reporting period, any payroll redistributions to/from the sponsored account during that reporting period require an approved ATF exception request. When an ATF report has been reviewed and acknowledged by a PI, the salaries and wages for that reporting period are considered confirmed. When ORSPA approves payroll cost transfers to/from sponsored accounts that have had the ATF semester report acknowledged, it reopens the report for the PI to review and acknowledge and increases audit risk.

If you need to submit payroll redistribution requests to/from accounts that have had the semester ATF report acknowledged, please meet with Samantha Munguia at your earliest convenience. If you already have an approved ATF exception request, please forward a copy of the approved request to [email protected] so that your payroll redistribution requests may be approved.

Since the ATF report for the Summer 2021 reporting period has been acknowledged for this sponsored account, any payroll redistributions that are to/from this account with a pay period in the range of 5/17/2021 – 8/8/2021 require an approved ATF exception request.
