10. ALA End Dates

11. Several Finance Managers are currently in the process of testing the Salary Encumbrance System that forecasts salaries and benefits through a specific end date. One of those end dates is the ALA End Date. Expired ALA End Dates lead to: Payroll Transfers Incorrect Salary and Benefits encumbrances The Division of Human Resources will send out an ALA expiration report today with information on an open lab to help clean up the end dates before encumbrances go live. Additional information and training on encumbrances is forthcoming.

ALA End Dates Below is an encumbrance example illustrating the impact of an expired ALA End Date: Project IDEncumbrance Amount 340000501$43,000/26.1x50%x20 = $16,475.10 800000003$0 * Assuming 20 pay periods remain, this faculty’s salary underencumbered because he will actually receive $32,950.19 in the future (double the encumbrance amount).
