How do I know what account code to use for a Payroll Profile?

First, it is highly recommended that you review the nature of your relationship with the individual you want to pay to ensure the Payroll Profile is the correct application to use. The Payroll Profile is used to authorize payment for casual employees. If the employee has never been paid by Carleton, have them visit the New Employees site for further details on our documentation process.

Account Codes describe the nature of transactions for Financial Services’ reporting purposes. As such, please consider the person you are hiring and the scope of the work being performed, as it will dictate the code to use. Commonly used account codes can be found on the Financial Services website. Need more help in post-award budget management? Contact Research Post-Award Administrators.
