What is a salary projection? What are salary projections used for? Is it different for SHRA and EHRA? What if an employee’s salary is paid from State funds and Grant funds? These are all important questions and during this session, Jackie will focus on the three factors used in calculating salary projections: Employee Group, Funding Sources and End Dates.

In this session, we’ll take a more in-depth look at how salary projections are calculated and some things you can do if the salary projection for an employee looks too large or too small. This session is most valuable to those who attended or viewed the recorded session: Understanding Salary Projections.
This session will cover the path that transactions such as campus vouchers, campus/GL journals, budget journals, and purchase requisitions take through the ConnectCarolina system. Understanding the steps that move a transaction from started to completed helps you understand when the transaction shows up in InfoPorte, how and when charges update your budget, and when they are posted to the General Ledger. This session is useful if you’re new to ConnectCarolina and also if you’d like to understand the paths transactions take considering the recent changes to the system.

We are going to examine the current process of overpayments for the University and discuss process improvements. We plan to take a holistic point of view on how over payments work in the system, ranging from a practical approach to ultimately a preventative approach. This presentation will include some of the following: practical steps to take (where and how to complete necessary steps in resolving over payments, targeted for beginner HR reps), to proactive/reactive approaches (including examples and resources), and implications of over payments (looking at how it affects other areas and departments across campus).
