What is ERS, and what is its relationship to Effort Reporting?
The Effort Reporting System (ERS) is an on-line proprietary software packaged licensed by the University that electronically calculates effort of individuals paid semi-monthly who have any of their compensation directly charged to a federal, state, foundation, corporate or private award or to University funds in support of the award (voluntarily committed effort or cost shared effort). ERS is accessed via a secure Syracuse University network.
