Overview
A salary cost transfer is a reversal of payroll expenses charged to an original chartstring and a re-posting to a new chartstring.
An expense transfer is commonly used to correct the recording of a cost from an incorrect to a correct chartstring. There are separate processes for payroll expense transfers and non-payroll expense transfers.
- Follow the salary cost transfer process in UCPath to transfer payroll expenses that originate in UCPath. Visit the UCPath at UCSF website for training materials and additional resources for the salary cost transfer process.
- Use the Benefit Cost Transfer Worksheet to request transfers of benefits expenses without also moving salary expenses.
Payroll expense transfers cannot be used to increase or decrease the number of hours or to change the pay type. Submit a MyTime Timecard Adjustment Form to request these types of changes. Non-payroll expense transfers use financial journals.
