Why does an effort report status appear as Certified/AdjustReqd?
A Certified/AdjustReqd status occurs when an effort report is certified and the Original Payroll % and Adjusted Payroll % do not match. If the Adjusted Payroll % reflects the correct figures and it doesn’t match with the Original Payroll %, the effort report can be certified but it will show a status of Certified/AdjustReqd. In this case, payroll transfers should be submitted to make them match. Once the payroll transfer is processed and a “late pay” is issued (during 1 of the 3 payroll cycles) and picked up by ERS, the report’s status should change to “Certified.” If the payroll transfer was processed correctly and the Original Payroll % still doesn’t reflect the correct figures, contact ERS Support at ershelp@research.ucla.edu for assistance.
