Sponsored Projects Manual Payroll Request

The Office of Contract and Grant Accounting (OCGA) is implementing a new procedure for those rare instances when a salary adjustment cannot be processed through a retro (payroll cost transfer).

The use of the manual payroll journal for sponsored funds, in lieu of a retro, will only be approved on rare occasions. Manual Payroll Request DocuSign form is the first step in the process of gaining approval to submit a manual payroll request journal entry.

Please see the attached slides for detailed instructions on how to access the form, how to complete the form successfully, and when to use the form.

As a resource, there is also content on the OCGA website under Cost Transfer Procedures on Sponsored Projects, section Manual Payroll Requests.
