Main Section
Be sure to complete all required fields indicated with a *. The fields below will pre-fill with data from the base position record, or, if you are re-hiring into a previously held position, the data from the most recent Jobs Effective Date. All relevant date fields will pre-fill to the Effective Date you entered on the first page.
Make sure the Jobs Effective Date and Personnel Date are the first day of the pay period. If re-hiring, change the Job Begin Date to the date labeled “Old Value”. If you cannot see the old value, it should appear after you first click Save at the bottom of this form. The Title field can be edited to a more descriptive title if desired.
The Regular Rate needs to be the amount you want paid each pay period. For example: if the total fellowship payment will be $1,000 paid in two parts, the Regular Rate would be $500.00. Fellowship payments cannot be made in more than two parts without prior authorization.
The Hours per Pay should always be 1, and the Factor and Pays should be the number of payments the student will receive. For example: if this payment is being split in two, the Factor and Pays would be 2; otherwise they would be 1. The Factor and Pays fields must be the same number.
Review the Timesheet Orgn field – No timesheet will be set up for this position, but it is still important for reporting purposes.
Labor Distribution Table
These are the Labor Distribution tables. Review what is in the New section below, paying close attention to the Fund and Organization fields.
You can add an additional line to split the Labor Distribution by clicking “Add Row”. Make sure that the combined percentages of split Labor Distributions equals 100%.
Earnings Table
This section sets up Default Earnings that will automatically be pulled into the payroll record, without the need for a timesheet. Use the New Value section below to set up the earn code for this payment. The Effective Date should always be the first day of a pay period. Use Earnings code 320 – Fellowships and Grants in most cases. If paying an International student a fellowship that the student will receive while outside of the United States, use Earnings code FSI – Foreign Sourced Income. Please review the Payroll Calendar for appropriate dates.
Hours or Units Per Pay should be 1. Enter the amount of payment in the Special Rate field. The Special Rate field should match what was entered in Regular Rate in the previous section. When entering the End Date field, always use the first day of the next pay period. For example: if ending the earnings after a pay period ending on 03/08/2025, you would enter 03/09/2025 in the End Date field. This is how you would skip a pay period, if necessary. To enter a second earnings line after entering an End Date, click “Add Row”, and enter an Effective Date to re-start the earnings record.
Terminate Section
Enter the End Date of the last pay period in which payment for this Fellowship will be paid, into both the Jobs Effective Date and the Personnel Date fields. If paying over multiple pay periods, use the End Date of the last pay period in which payment will be made. Please review the Payroll Calendar for appropriate pay period end dates.
