July 2023 Time Entry - Crosses Fiscal Year

Federal work-study year-end reporting must be able to distinguish between June and July payroll expense. This means that June hours and July hours are entered separately in PHAHOUR during July time entry each year.  In addition, departments must use the indices for the new fiscal year and the prior fiscal year.  Use Shift 1 for July hours and Shift 2 for June hours.
