What is Effort?

---

Effort Overview

---

• Effort is the amount of  time spent on a particular University compensated activity
  
• Individual effort is expressed as a percentage of the total amount of time spent on University compensated activities
• The cumulative effort of a semi-monthly paid employee on University compensated activities shall constitute the employee's 100% effort regardless of the time required to accomplish those activities
  
• The Institutional Base Salary (IBS) definition defines what Universities compensated activities are included in an individual's 100% effort
  
• An employee's proposed and expended effort on University compensated activities shall be consistently applied in sponsored agreement proposals, in distributing University payroll and in certifying effort.
  
• Bi-weekly payroll employees are based on actual hours worked on an activity
• Effort reports are used to verify & certify salaries charged to sponsored agreements are reasonable in relation to work performed for semi-monthly payroll employees
