What is the New TIF Account Mapping Feature?
• Currently, the TIF charges appear under the account from which the employee is paid as actual payroll data is utilized as the source of the FTE information. Departments have expressed a desire to move these charges to unrestricted fund sources for certain contracts and grants until such time these direct costs can be built into a renewal budget. The Non-Payroll Expense Transfer (NPEAR) process provides this option; however, for some departments where there are large numbers of transfers that are contemplated, processing NPEARS would be cumbersome and time consuming. Also, NPEARS are strongly discouraged since such movement would compromise costing policies. • In an effort to provide some relief while campus leaders determine a final resolution for the TIF model, Communications Technology Services (CTS) has developed a web-based program that will enable departmental administrators or their representatives to redirect their TIF charges by mapping the original contract and grant account
