Impact of Covid-19
The PAR process has not changed, in that individuals are certifying their Effort for the months of July to December, including any idle time reported through September. Our only change on the PAR due to COVID is the attestation employees are signing; this has been updated to include references consistent with University policy and emergency excused absences. Please process all PARs as you normally would in any given PAR period. Please click here for information concerning salary and idle time FAQs.
Pars may be certified using Email approval with the completed PAR to accommodate those working remotely due to COVID-19. The Email must be from the BU employee or the PI/Supervisor on behalf of any non-faculty or Student BU employee. The “% of Effort Expended” column on the PAR must still be completed or include a statement that the % of salary charged equals the % of effort expended.
