Who certifies efforts? What if an employee gets paid on grants outside of my organization?
Certifiers must have first-hand knowledge of the effort expended. Normally, an employee or a supervisor can certify his/ her own effort. The PI ultimately takes responsibility for all effort certification. Non-academics can’t certify for academics. Occasionally, multiple certifications are required if the employee works on multiple projects, has multiple supervisors, and doesn’t know which projects their effort benefits. ECERT supports multiple certifications with a check box at the bottom of the effort report. When you activate this function, individual line certification becomes available.
