Payroll Certification at UCF

The University of Central Florida has completed its transition to Workday, and this is now reflected in the time and effort certification system, Employee Compensation Compliance (ECC).

The Employee Compensation Compliance (ECC) system is designed to help comply with the provisions of UCF™s Time and Effort policy, federal policy (Uniform Guidance, Subpart E – Cost Principles 200.430), NIH Salary Limitation on Grants, and other relevant agency policies that govern the need to provide certification of an individual’s effort pursuant to his/her sponsored and non-sponsored programs. Please direct any questions to the ECC Administrator, Daniel Sierra at Daniel.Sierra@ucf.edu. Daniel.Sierra@ucf.edu.

The ECC system can be accessed using the link listed. above You will use your Single Sign On (SSO) credentials to log in.

Note: Any posted Payroll Accounting Adjustments to prior certified effort periods will need to be reviewed by the Unit Effort Coordinator and recertified. Please be sure to review the Payroll Accounting Adjustment Guidance provided below.
