Each time you certify effort, you do so for a specific
period of performance:
| • | |
For classified staff, the periods correspond to
calendar quarters and are tied to the payroll calendar. |
| • | |
For everyone else, the two periods are (1) January through June, and (2) July through December. |
The time during which you certify effort is called the certification window.
Each certification window begins a month or more after its corresponding period of performance.
Each time a certification window begins, you have 90 days to certify the effort
for the corresponding period of performance. The certification window may be
expanded for those periods that occur during the transition to the new Effort Certification and Reporting Technology
(ECRT) system.
