DBEs – Straddle two Fiscal Years

Payroll 2027-001 straddles two Fiscal Years, because it spans from 6/28/26 to 7/11/26.    Review the applicable DBE instructions below depending when you are performing the DBE.  Please note: the FY27 DBEs will be available July 1st.

The UMBC Gross Pay Report will show question marks “???” in the Account Code section until DBE Rollover has been performed by the Payroll Accounting Department, which should happen after June 30.
