Period Activity Pay Costing Allocation Worktags

Administrators and Managers using Period Activity Pay are required to choose a PAP worktag when entering a costing allocation in the PAP work item. Below is a comprehensive list of activity worktags to choose from. Please note that while we have tried to capture as many scenarios as possible, we may not have added a particular named stipend as a worktag. In that instance, please consult with your department's budget administrator on which worktag to use.
