The purpose of this tool is straightforward: it helps ensure that payroll for grant-funded employees continues smoothly when a grant is renewed or continued. When one grant ends and a new grant takes its place, the tool updates the employees paid on the original grant fund to the newly assigned continuation grant fund so that payroll is charged to the correct grant fund going forward.
