The Time Tracking Funding Overrides report has been updated so users can now search for worktag overrides for positions they own. This can be run each pay period to ensure biweekly workers have not erroneously entered worktag overrides on their timesheets. Payroll accounting adjustments should be processed to correct erroneous overrides.
Historically the report returned all workers with time entered but a new prompt titled "Only Include Time Blocks with Funding Overrides" will narrow results down to return only workers with worktag overrides.
As a reminder, the best option is to run the report by the "Organizations by Type" prompt to capture all the positions owned by your college or cost center.
