Selected Procedures on UMS Topics

Here are some instructions or procedures on a few features in UMS. Please feel free to submit some tips or tricks so we can continue to grow this section.

• Entering salaries
  In order to ensure consistent data structure throughout the campus, it is imperative that the %Modifier reflects the FTE% for all employees, regardless of their employment type. Click here to view the steps describing how to enter the data in the UMS system.

• Entering multiple increases on the same effective date
  In order to ensure prompt and efficient processing of your request, please follow these guidelines carefully. Especially important: Do NOT mention % amounts anywhere on the form for any increase OTHER THAN the Cost of Living. The exact % will be calculated by HRM.

• Roll-over from one fiscal year to the next.
  As the end of the fiscal year approaches, there are several steps that usually need to be taken in UMS. One is to rollover all eligible UMS funding centers so these centers will be available as a funding source in the new fiscal year. The second is to rollover personnel funding documents.

• E-Submission of PEAR forms to HRM
  Currently in deployment phase on the MUSC Campus.Contact Mickey Asleson at 2-9092 for more information.
