Effort Changes & Recertification

ECC System Notice

Daily Restart: The ECC system restarts daily at 6:30pm PST. It is expected for access to be limited or unavailable for about 15-20 minutes during this time each day. Access should be restored by 7pm daily, but system performance may be impacted on Monday's after 7pm when data for the week is loading.

Changes to an effort statement should be made carefully to ensure certified effort accurately reflects the work performed. Depending on the situation, updates may require a Payroll Accounting Adjustment (PAA) in Workday, a funding shift in ECC, sponsor approval for reductions in committed effort, or, in limited cases, recertification of an effort statement.

This page provides guidance on the appropriate process for each type of change, when recertification is necessary, and how to maintain compliance with University and sponsor requirements.
