Campus: This four-character Regents-assigned abbreviation uniquely identifies the campus (or branch) within an institution.

Employee Identifier: This nine-digit alphanumeric field can be either the employee's SSN or an institution-assigned identifier.

Institution Assigned Identifier Switch: Enter Y if the identifier is assigned by the institution, and is not a federally assigned SSN. Enter N if the identifier is an SSN assigned by the federal government.

Major Fund Group: Includes Instruction and General, Separately Budgeted Research (SB), Public Service (PS), Auxiliary (AU), and Hospital (HO) funds. Select the primary expenditure category from which the employee's salary or wages come. If an individual is paid from more than one fund group, select and report one primary fund group. If the major fund group is Instruction and General, select and report one primary component within the fund group.

Instruction and General: Includes Departmental Instruction (DI), Academic Support (AS), Student Services (SS), Plant Operation (PO), and Institutional Support (IS).

Departmental Instruction (DI): Includes all faculty compensation and other departmental compensation.

Academic Support (AS): Includes compensation expended for activities, the primary mission of which is to provide support services for instruction, research, and public service (e.g., might include deans, assistant deans, and associate deans.) This category includes libraries, academic administration, educational media service, museums and galleries, course and curriculum development, and ancillary support.

 Work Category: Select the one work category that indicates the employee's primary responsibility.

Assignments require the performance of work directly related to management policies or general business operations of the institution, department, or subdivision, etc. It is assumed that assignments in this category customarily and regularly require the incumbent to exercise discretion and independent judgment and to direct the work of others. Report in this category all officers holding titles, such as president, vice president, dean, director, or the equivalent, as well as officers subordinate to any of these administrators with such titles as associate dean, assistant dean, executive officer of academic departments (department heads, or the equivalent) if their principal activity is administrative.

Other Professionals (Support/Service) (OP): Report all persons employed for the primary purpose of performing academic support, student service, and institutional support activities, whose assignments would require either college graduation or experience of such kind and amount as to provide a comparable background. Include employees such as librarians, accountants, systems analysts, computer programmers, and coaches.

Technical and Paraprofessionals (TP): Report all persons whose assignments require specialized knowledge or skills which may be acquired through experience or academic work, such as offered in many two-year technical institutes, junior colleges, or through equivalent on-the-job training.

Include mechanics and repairers, electricians, stationary engineers, skilled machinists, upholsterers, carpenters, compositors, and typesetters.

Service/Maintenance (SM): Report all persons whose assignments require limited degrees of previously acquired skills and knowledge and in which workers perform duties which result in or contribute to the comfort, convenience, and hygiene of personnel and the student body or which contribute to the upkeep and care of buildings, facilities, or grounds of the institutional property. Include chauffeurs, laundry and dry cleaning operatives, cafeteria and restaurant workers, truck drivers, bus drivers, garage laborers, custodial personnel, gardeners and groundskeepers, refuse collectors, construction laborers, and security personnel.

Appointment Status: The length of employment indicated in the faculty contract or formal agreement as opposed to the schedule according to which salary checks might be issued. Use the two-character code to indicate Full Time (9/10 month) (09), Full Time (11/12 month) (11),  Part Time (PT), or Graduate Assistant (GA).

Pay Type: Enter S (salary) or W (wages).

Salary/Wages: The two right-most positions of this nine-character field are the two decimal positions (i.e., cents). For an hourly wage amount, please indicate amount to the nearest penny. For a salary amount, please use two zeroes for the cents. Fill with zeroes the unused positions to the left of the value entered. For example, a salary of $15,750 will be reported as 001575000. An hourly wage of $7.45 will be reported as 000000745. All nine characters of the field must contain a value. The decimal points are implied and not actually entered in the submission. The period covered by wages is the hour. Important note: When the Appointment Status for an individual is PT (Part-time) or GA (Graduate Assistant) and the Pay Type is S (Salary), enter NA.

Annualized Base Salary: Enter the annualized salary for the employee for employees reported as S in the Salary/Wages field. For employees reported as Full Time (9/10 month) (09), Full Time (11/12 month) in the Appointment Status field, enter the base salary as provided in the employee's contract. This amount should be exclusive of additional part-time, summer, and overload assignments. Salaries reported for 9-10 month employees should reflect service during two semesters, two trimesters or three quarters. Annualized salaries should include pay for one year, even if the individual worked for less than one year. If a person worked for less than a year, is reported as a Full Time (9/10 month) appointment status, use the 9/10 month contract salary; if a person worked for less than a year, is reported as a Full Time (11/12 month) appointment status, use the 11/12 month contract salary. In some cases the annualized salary will be identical to the total salary. Do not include cents, but annualize to the nearest dollar. For example, a salary of $15,750 should be reported as 0015750. If the employee is reported as W in the Pay Type field, enter NA.

For employees reported as Part Time (PT), or Graduate Assistant (GA) in the Appointment Status field, enter NA.
