Why can anyone with ECERT access view payroll details?
Anyone designated certifier or preparer has access to the “View Payroll Detail” screens in ECERT. It’s essential that those supervising effort certification can see all pay detail, whether or not the effort calculations include it because researchers may work on a grant or contract outside their home department. If pay information has been miscoded, the payroll details provide the evidence to make a correction. All manner of compensation paid by the university is public record. However, due to the sensitive nature of this information, financial managers must use discretion when assigning employees access to ECERT.
