Employee Compensation Compliance (ECC)
ECC is a modern web-based solution designed to help universities and research institutions ensure compliance with federal regulations outlined in Uniform Guidance Subpart E §200.430.
ECC will replace the Effort Reporting System (ERS) as the system of record for verification of payroll. Project Statements for the reporting period of July 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, will be available for review in January 2027 and for certification in March 2027.
The ECC system is easy to use and strictly adheres to three guiding principles.
- Simplicity: Clean interfaces and simple navigational tools make end-user tasks quick and easy to complete.
- Standardization: A standardized workflow fosters consistent practices across the institution and establishes common metrics to improve monitoring and reporting capabilities.
- Compliance: Enhanced real-time reporting and automated notifications help manage institutional compliance.
Additional information about the new system will be provided when we get closer to the go-live date of January 2, 2027.
