- Salary Compensation Reports
- UT’s system of internal controls is required to include processes for the after-the-fact review of personnel costs that are allocated to a project based on budget estimates to ensure compliance with Federal Regulations and sponsor requirements.
- Salary Compensation Reports will be provided three times a year, following the end of each academic semester, to provide PIs and departments another tool to review personnel costs on sponsored accounts.
