5.  Previously, the College consolidated the net deficit centrally. This was paid via our IDC share for 06/07 and 07/08 resulting in a College IDC deficit at the start of each AY.  State budget reduction: CAS received a $4.8M budget cut.  The College is 98 % payroll.

6. PSR: Personal Service Regular  This object code covers all regular personnel on State lines. The assigning and budgeting of lines, as part of the recruitment-hiring process, is an entire subject in its own right. Therefore, this guide will address only those aspects of this category that pertain to the reporting of payroll information. PST: Personal Service Temporary  This group is divided into two major subgroups. The first, 2000, covers all personnel hired on temporary lines paid by the State. It does not include personnel hired from such agencies as Manpower, Career Temps, etc., nor does it cover fees paid to consultants. Both these items are reported under Contractual Services.  The second group is 2600, Students. This covers all students hired through the Work/Study Program, as well as Graduate Assistants and Graduate Students.

7. OTPS: Other Than Personal Services  Supplies & Expense, Travel, Contractual Services, Telephone, Library, Equipment CBM: Campus Budget Module of PeopleSoft  The CBM is the computer / online application where we enter budgeted amounts into PeopleSoft for the coming year, usually completed in April / May of the previous academic year.  CBM entries are transmitted to Albany and return to the campus as allocation for the following fiscal year. Therefore, any subsequent changes, revisions, updates will require journal entries.
