Composite Benefit Rates

Composite Benefit Rate Part of an overall financial management strategy implemented July 2012 by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) regarding employer-paid fringe benefit costs. Related to the decentralization of fringe benefit budgets Will increase predictability and decrease variability of one of the largest areas of cost for the campus Charged and budgeted as a percentage of salary All benefit costs will be managed by the home department regardless of the fund source Aligns hiring incentives Eliminates unnecessary work This charging practice does not change an employees’ eligibility for or the employee’s cost of fringe benefit programs.

Composite Benefit Rates We are now in our second year of CBRs. You will notice a few differences from last year’s structure and content. Modifications were adopted in response to the many suggestions we received during our first year of implementation, and aligns well with the proposed systemwide CBR structure and content: One academic rate instead of two All students (grad & undergrad titles) charged 0% Expansion of the “Post Doc” rate to include other appointments that have limited access to benefit programs such as faculty summer salary and BELI 2,3 and 4 appointments Exclusion of many non-pensionable pay types (Z Comp) from all rates Exclusion of BELI 5 appointments from all rates Adoption of a salary cap for all rates

Composite Benefit Rates UCB Composite Benefit Rates effective July 1, 2013 Approved Projections for Planning Purposes --------------> CBR Rate Group FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 Academic 33.9%   36.8% 39.5% 42.1% 42.6% Staff 41.5% 44.6% 47.6% 50.5% 51.3% Limited 17.3% 18.1% 19.1% 20.0% 20.4% Students (Grad & Undergrad) 0.0% Notes: Approved rates have been reviewed and approved by the Department of Health and Human Services for use by all fund sources for FY13-14. These rates will be applied to gross earnings to generate benefit costs posted to the general ledger. Rates beyond June 30, 2014 are estimates and are provided for planning purposes only. Future benefits rates are subject to review and approval by the Department of Health and Human Services on an annual or bi-annual basis. Rate changes reflect anticipated increases and decreases in benefit costs, including health care and retirement contributions. "Limited" includes Post Docs, Faculty Summer Salary and appointments with BELI code 2, 3 or 4.

Composite Benefit Rates FY13-14 rates were reviewed and approved by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Future rates will also be reviewed and approved by DHHS on an annual basis. Rates include most, but not all, costs traditionally known and “fringe benefits”. Excluded costs are Graduate Student Health and Fee Remissions Vacation Accrual All other costs in account series 52XXX GAEL For these excluded costs, you will see additional assessments where applicable and appropriate. Unlike last year, IAP assessment is now included in the CBRs.

Composite Benefit Rates Just like FY12-13, application of the CBR will rely on the proper use of salary account codes and will be executed in the general ledger using the allocation module of BFS. Title code will drive the initial salary account code assignment If other data elements are present, an alternate salary account code assignment will be made: BELI code 2, 3, 4 or 5 Z comp Earn/DOS codes Salary Cap of $255,000/yr

Composite Benefit Rates Just like last year, BFS account code will drive the fringe cost calculation and the true fringe benefit costs posted to the general ledger. Because the fringe categories have changed and many exclusions introduced, a new expense account code strategy was necessary to properly transact CBRs During the last weekend in June 2013, all records in HCM and PPS were updated with the new account codes, and programming accomplished to ensure the proper use of account codes Please use the new account codes for all transactions Legacy information in PPP5302 is NOT the true cost The CBR assessment is the employer-paid fringe cost.

Composite Benefit Rates

Composite Benefit Rates Example: Faculty Member Jones just retired but is being recalled. What salary account code should be used and what CBR will be applied? Answer: Faculty Jones’ title code would indicate that we assign account code 50215 (Academic-Regular) and apply the academic CBR (33.9%). However, retirees typically have a BELI code 5, which would mean a categorical exemption from a CBR assessment. Thus the account code should be 50211 (Academic-Exempt) and a CBR of 0% applied.

Composite Benefit Rates Example: Contract Employee Williams has a 2 year staff appointment. What salary account code should be used and which CBR will be applied? Answer: The employee’s appointment has a title code that would typically be mapped to a staff salary account code and indicate the Staff CBR (41.5%). However, contract employees can have limited access to employee fringe programs and therefore a BELI code assignment of 2, 3 or 4. If the contract employee’s BELI code is 2, 3 or 4, a salary account code of 51232 would be assigned and the Limited CBR (17.3%) applied.

Composite Benefit Rates Example: Post Doc Fellow Smith has an NSF fellowship. What salary account code should be used and what CBR will be applied? Answer: Post Doc appointments carry title codes that would typically indicate the Limited CBR (17.3%). However, Post Doc Fellows typically have earn/DOS codes (FEN and FEL) that would indicate an exemption from CBRs and therefore 0% fringe cost. Thus, although the title code would indicate a salary account of 50212 (Academic-Limited CBR) , because of the earn code, the assigned salary account would be 50211 (Academic-Exempt CBR).

Composite Benefit Rates Composite Benefit Rates do not Change employee’s eligibility for benefits Change an employee’s contributions to benefit programs Change effort reporting systems or requirements Change leave reporting systems or requirements Change how we transact Graduate Student remission programs or GAEL Change how we transact expenses in account series 52XXX Change how we transact cost transfers

Composite Benefit Rates Composite Benefit Rates do: Change how fringe benefit costs are budgeted and expensed Change salary and benefit account codes Change how account code is populated in HCM Change how we think about employer-paid fringe costs

Composite Benefit Rates Cost Transfers Continue to be entered into PPS using PPP5302 report info All transfers will be run through the new allocation process Students in non-student title codes will be assessed fringe benefit costs at non-student rates Periodic “QA” reports to ensure proper account code usage No adjustment in FY14 planned for “BYN” “Opting out” will not influence the CBR applied Until UCPATH is implemented, legacy data will be present in the PP5302 report UCOP project update
