    Two Changes in the New System:

    • Not everyone will have to certify payroll:
      • If you are a current PI and have no federal awards, you will not have to certify payroll.
      • If you get a federal award in the future, then you will have to certify payroll.
    • You will certify payroll by federal projects, instead of by employees.  The primary PI will certify everyone paid on the award.
