General Information The processing of the BUDs creates the departmental operating budgets for the upcoming fiscal year beginning Sep 1, 2010 through Aug 31, The BUD process begins before new funds for FY are known. Therefore, the BUDs are populated with prior year Original Budgets + any permanent transfers (i.e. funds) and considered a “status quo” budget. In order to establish a BUD, the budget group must exist. Each division may have additional requirements and deadlines pertaining to the BUD process. Consult with your financial area representative, as appropriate. 4

Updates may include equity, reclassifications, transfers or terminations. ◦ Final review and updates to salary will be made by departments when processing the SUD documents 13

Definitions Position A position can be funded by multiple accounts. The funding unit does not necessarily have to be the owning unit for the position. All positions will have base pay which is the rate for the position. Funding – Funding is associated with the position, not the incumbent. It is located on its own tab in HRMS and its own page within an HRMS modify document. There are two types of Funding: Actual Funding Budgetary Funding 14

Two Types of Funding Two Types of Funding Actual funding – Identifies the account(s) on which an incumbent is currently paid from. Budgetary funding - Identifies the account(s) on which the position is budgeted in the current year and will be budgeted in the next fiscal year. Funding distribution for these two types may be different. The Funding page in HRMS shows funding for the Position. Additional pay (i.e. supplements) or pay adjustment information is located on the Incumbent page. 15

What is Budgetary Funding? Budgetary Funding is assigned to a Position Consists of budgetary funding distribution and budgeted account numbers Budgetary funding distribution is: the percent to be allocated on an account not the same thing as percent time does not have to total 100% Only a budget group that has been budgeted can be used If a non-budgeted account is entered, an error that requires follow up with the Budget Office will occur Not available for non-budgeted job types such as student titles or non-tenured faculty Not available for additional pay (i.e. supplements) 16

Purpose of the BUD The BUD is used to set the fiscal year budget for a specific budget group. The BUD… Will… Create transactions to establish budget in *DEFINE. Include position details if a position has budgetary funding. Position details are included to assist in determining salary subtotals. Will not… Create assignments in HRMS or appointments in *DEFINE (unlike prior year). Update actual funding records in HRMS. 17

BUD Loads from Two Sources For salary subaccounts (-01, -09, -10), position and incumbent information will load from HRMS. Position Base Pay: Will only load in a BUD if a position has budgetary funding For filled positions, the rate that loads in the BUD will be the incumbent’s rate that is effective 9/1 of the next fiscal year in HRMS for that position. For vacant positions, the rate that loads in the BUD will be the FY Baseline that is effective 9/1 of the next fiscal year in HRMS for that position. The allocation that loads in the BUD will be determined by the budgetary funding distribution that is effective 9/1 of the next fiscal year in HRMS for that position. Incumbent additional pay: For filled positions, the amount that loads in the BUD will be the incumbent’s permanent additional pay amount(s) that is effective 9/1 of the next fiscal year in HRMS for that incumbent. Vacant positions will not have permanent funding additional pay. 18

BUD Loads from Two Sources For non-salary subaccounts, the account totals will load from the current fiscal year budget plus permanent transfers processed prior to the BUD load. Example: M&O, travel, etc. Current FY Budget + Commitments 19 (permanent transfers as of 2/15/10)
