Change Funding Source

2. What is a Change Funding Sources ePAR?
A Change Funding Sources ePAR is used to change the funding information for an employee’s regular wages. Funding dates and cost centers can be adjusted for regular wages via a Change Funding Sources ePAR.
Change Funding Sources ePARs can also be used to change funding retroactively resulting in reallocation of funds.
Change Funding Sources ePARs cannot be used to extend current funding. A Job Attribute Change ePAR must be used to extend funding.
Supplemental pay earnings such as cell phone allowances, enrichments, etc. cannot be changed via a Change Funding Sources ePAR. Changes to earnings other than regular wages must be made through a Supplemental Pay ePAR.
If a Change Funding Sources ePAR is needed, please continue reading. If a Supplemental Pay ePAR is needed, please see the related ePAR Training module.

This area is an optional field. It can be used to add notes related to the change in funding source.
This is a required field. It is the earliest date that the funding source changes needs to take place. It will be pre-populated with the date the ePAR is started.
This area will contain the current funding information by date range and associated cost center(s).

10. Changes are made in the “Proposed Funding” area.
This date is the first date of the proposed changes. It will populate to match the “Funding Start Date” field above. These fields must match for the ePAR to process.
This is a required field. It is the cost center that the funding should be charged to. If the cost center is not known, the hourglass will allow you to search for it.
This field is the percentage of funding that should be charged to the given cost center. If more than one cost center row is entered, the percentages must add up to 100% for each date range.
If more than one cost center is needed for a particular date range, the “+” can be selected to add a row. If a row was added in error, the “-” can be used to the delete the row. In this case, a row will be added for the second cost center for the month of May.
This date is the end date for the proposed funding change date range. If more than one range is entered, the end date of the first range and the start date of the next range must be consecutive for the ePAR to process.

11. A second cost center row will appear after the “+” button is clicked.
Because the date range of the proposed changes does not span the full date range of the current funding, a second date range row must be added via the “+” button.
After the “+” is selected, a new row will appear to allow the additional cost center and percentage information to be entered.

12. A second date range row will appear after the “+” button is clicked.
