Overview
- Salaries are encumbered on grants and contracts (budget type 05) to assist departments in planning expenditures during the life of a grant or contract.
Process
- Departments submit payroll transactions in Workday.
- Workday and FAS interface, and the encumbrance is created.
Helpful Hints
- Differences between departmental records of pending salaries and salary encumbrances are usually tied to Workday transactions "in process."
- Encumbrances are updated twice per month, the night before the ETR/PTR is distributed.
- Salary encumbrances may be eliminated, but departments take responsibility for deficits.
