<p> Business Services The University of Montana Missoula, Montana 59812-1254</p><p>Procedure: 110018 Revision Date: 4/3/17 Revision Number: 2</p><p>PROCEDURE: Payroll Redistribution Procedure - Missoula Campus</p><p>OVERVIEW</p><p>The following is to establish procedures for payroll redistributions submitted to Business Services fund accountants for non-grant funds. Generally, Business Services can only process payroll redistributions from one non-grant index code to another non-grant index code. This is to maintain consistency between the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs and Business Services.</p><p>OPERATING PRINCIPLES</p><p>Payroll redistribution requests received within 90 days of the payroll posting date will be processed on a routine basis. Requests for payroll redistributions received more than 90 days after the payroll posting date must be submitted with the additional questions (3 and 4) on the form answered and signed by the Dean, Chair or Director. The Director of Business Services will review the question responses to determine whether the redistribution request will be approved or disapproved.</p><p>Because of the nature of some redistribution requests, the actual redistribution will need to be processed by Human Resources. If the following situations occur, the redistribution request should be forwarded to Human Resources:  Changes in position number  Changes in account code (usually a position number change)  Corrections to job records or data entry errors incurred at time of entry</p><p>To alleviate the need for multiple redistributions, departments are responsible for submitting new RPT (Request for Personnel Transaction) forms to Human Resources for permanent or long-term changes to the employee’s job distribution.</p><p>Page 1 of 3 PROCEDURES</p><p>Responsible Party Procedure Step: University Campus Request for Redistribution – Submit a Redistribution Departments Request form to your fund accountant in Business Services.
