Time & Effort Certification Template

Track monthly effort for multi-funded staff, generate semi-annual certifications, and produce audit-ready personnel documentation under 2 CFR 200.430. Pre-filled with a CCBHC example — 4 staff across 4 funding streams.

How It Works

1

Set up your org and funding streams

Enter your organization details and define up to 8 funding streams with their compliance frameworks and grant periods. One-time setup.

2

Add your staff roster

List all multi-funded employees with salary, benefits rate, and budgeted effort percentages per funding stream.

3

Log actual effort monthly

Each month, enter actual effort percentages per employee. Takes 5–10 minutes per person. Conditional formatting flags entries that don't total 100%.

4

Generate certifications

At each semi-annual period, the template produces a pre-formatted certification document per the 2 CFR 200.430 requirement — ready for supervisor signature.
