Labor Distribution Functions

With 500 employees and approximately double the number of accounts, the Labor Distribution function is quite complex.  Salary allocations are entered through the web (WebSAF program) by the Division Administrator's.  After receiving all appropriate approvals, Salary Action Forms (SAF) will then be ready for processing to the Labor Distribution Systems (LDS).  Salary and fringe benefits corrections (to correct University errors) are submitted to the Controller's Office using the Salary Correction Cost Form (SCC) and Fringe Adjustment Form (FAF).  All Labor distribution is reconciled with the University information monthly. 

In addition, the yearly effort report is verified and all administrative personnel are recertified annually at the start of the fiscal year.

All labor distribution is reconciled with University information monthly. All the Maritime payroll is reconciled (ship operations is a separate payroll department from LDEO) Payment for hourly employees, overtime, additional compensation and sea duty bonus pay is entered to our accounting system. These last three items are submitted via FFE (Financial Front End-ZT module). This function is maintained by one person.
