HSA (PeopleSoft) Approvals should follow procedures outlined in Training Services materials. All salary cost transfers attempting to post charges to sponsored accounts after Effort Certification are systematically forwarded to SPA, which approves only adjustments involving very extenuating circumstances that are fully documented and justified. The justification letter must be sent to the certified approver for approval. If the certified approver concurs with the request, he or she sends the letter to the Effort Unit along with the adjusted effort certification statement. The letter and the adjusted statement must be submitted to the Effort Unit before the HSA is posted to the PeopleSoft system. For details please refer to Cost Transfer Policy.
