Job Funding Rules

Download the Funding Rules Matrix

The following information is designed to help hiring managers understand employee job types and how the different types are funded within the UCALG and UCALT business units. Fund Codes are the first two digits of a financial chart field and denote the purpose of the fund (e.g. Fund 10 = general/base operating funds).

In general, a job that is being funded from base operating funds (Fund 10) is hired under the UCALG business unit. Jobs being paid from project funds (e.g. Fund 11, 12, 60 or 70) are hired under the UCALT business unit. However, in certain rare situations it may be appropriate for an employee to be hired under UCALG with a recovery from project accounts. For more information on whether that is the correct option for your hire, contact your Finance Partner.
