Self Certification is an attribute of each employee kept in the Time and Effort system. It is normally derived automatically from an employee’s PI Eligible status – if a person has PI Eligibility, they can Self Certify. PI Eligible is an attribute of the employee’s current Title Code, which is defined in the Maestro system and is visible in Workday.
While Self Certify defaults to PI Eligible, it can be overridden by an Administrator if the institution prefers to have more (or fewer) employees certify their own time.
