Payroll Fiscal Year Crossover for “supersedes budget” ePARs

Payroll defines “supersedes budget” as an individual whose data was not included in the Axiom pull from HCM or who has had a pay change since the data pull which will result in an inaccurate rate of pay in Job Data when 7/1 rows are added to HCM.

The budget-build process and the 7/1 Job Data rows are not to be used to circumvent ePAR actions that require workflow approval such as, but not limited to, promotions.

  • FY26 ePARs are not needed for new hires (hired after 4/1/25) as Payroll is running a query looking for missing distributions and will add a corresponding job data row and a FY26 distribution row using FY25 information (unless they are receiving a FY26 increase – see below)
  • FY26 ePARs are needed for new staff members hired after 4/1/25 who are receiving a salary increase 7/1. Please indicate “Supersedes Budget” in the comments section of the ePAR.
  • FY26 ePARs are needed for any 7/1 pay-related changes (for example FTE, off cycle change in duties, reclassification, etc.) that occurred after the Axiom data pull from HCM on 4/1/25. If an ePAR is required due to the changes listed above, please indicate “Supersedes Budget” in the comments section of the ePAR.

Out-of-State Employees

Body

Payroll and Tax Services needs to be notified of any paid employee (student, staff, faculty, or graduate student) doing any portion of their work for UVM outside the state of Vermont. This allows us to ensure our capabilities and compliance with payroll, unemployment, and withholding tax law. Payroll and Tax also informs Risk Management to ensure we have proper coverage for Worker’s Compensation. It is to the benefit of both the employee and the University to ensure Payroll and Tax are provided with this information before any work commences and when a work location changes.
PeopleSoft Self-Service now has the ability to notify payroll and tax electronically of work being done outside of Vermont. Once logged into PeopleSoft Human Resources, go to the UVM Employee screen and select the Payroll and Tax tile. Once there employees will see a link on the left side of the screen connecting them with the Out-of-State Form. See the User Guide (PDF) for further instructions.

Supervisors of Student and Work-study Employees

Body

All student and work study employees are required to sign up for direct deposit prior to working as a condition of their employment. Please note that signing up for direct deposit in Banner impacts a student account only and does not link to direct deposit in People Soft HCM. To ensure compliance with this requirement and to make it easier for students to sign up for direct deposit in People Soft HCM we would like to make you aware of some important details and changes.

  • Self-service functionality is not available in PeopleSoft until the day after an employee’s hire date. To expedite the process of initiating direct deposit for students, Payroll will email student and work study hires/rehires a paper direct deposit form. Students may sign up for direct deposit in PeopleSoft Self Service the day after their hire date OR alternatively they may return the direct deposit form via Secure File Transfer to payroll@uvm.edu.
  • If direct deposit is not in place after a student’s first paycheck, the student’s time sheet will be inactivated, and the student will not be allowed to work until they have met the direct deposit requirement. Both student and supervisor will be notified via email if this action is taken and what steps to take to remedy the situation.
