Joint Appointment forms must always be accompanied by a PAF and sent directly to TSS via e-mail at TSS@tufts.edu. A case will be created and then each PAF and Joint Appointment form will be forwarded to OVPR/post-award via Salesforce.

•Each PAF should Identify:

–Job Code: 0105 (JA special code)

–Labor Distribution:

     •DeptId: U000001

     •Percentage: 0%

     •JA Code:

          –JA1135: Tufts Employee working at TMC

          –JA1136: Tufts Employee working at TMCPO (Tufts Medical Center Physician's Organization - aka Pratt).

          –JA2127: TMC Employee working at Tufts University

          –JA2128: TMCPO Employee working at Tufts University

–The appropriate JA DeptID for each department using the correct percent of effort should be listed in the distribution section.

–In the comment/remark section on both the JA form and PAF, a short description of the action should be provided .

     • Example 1:

          –Buddy XYZ is a Tufts University Employee on JA1135 & DeptID M123456. Tufts University will be reimbursed by TMC.

     •Example 2:

          –Buffy MPH is a TMC Employee on JA2127 & Tufts University will reimburse TMC for 10% effort for time supporting XXX project.
