Summer Salary

The first approver is the supervisor of the person entering the transaction, the second approver is the PI or Budget Head for the department number in the cost account number and then a Sponsored Programs Accounting (SPA) rep will be the final approver if the payment is on a grant or contract.

The system will validate the calculation of the total Summer Salary contracts that have been submitted online and via paper to ensure that the employee does not exceed the percentage allowed on his/her base salary as of 6/30 of the current year.
