Background

The Uncertified ePERs by Org or Campus report is run in the CU-Data Reporting System. It is a status report of all individuals by organizational unit, for select units or an entire campus, who have not yet certified or must re-certify an ePER. Also listed are those employees with an ePER in “pending” status because of an outstanding Payroll Expense Transfer (PET) that was generated when effort was certified as being less than what was paid from a project. The report spans all semesters since Summer 2006.

An org unit should review this report to see who needs to certify (or re-certify) effort. The report can also indicate if a PET requires action.
