Process Considerations:

• It is important to be aware that the funding distribution information found in HRS the day after payroll confirmation can change over the course of the day while post-confirmation processing occurs. For this reason, the recommended practice is to wait for WISER to be updated to verify how an employee's payroll expenses were funded. The time between the completion of Post Confirm processing and when the data is available in WISER is usually minimal. For example, when a payroll is confirmed on a Thursday, WISER will typically have the funding distribution information by first thing Monday morning.
