Salary Planner Audits • Things Departments/Divisions need to do: • Make sure increases meet merit and allocation guidelines • Notify Provost when faculty data is ready for auditing (if prior to 4/12) • Complete Performance Reviews by 5/15 • Run Spring Budget Downloads throughout the process • Notify HR when staff data is ready for auditing (if prior to 5/22) • Things Provost will do: • Review faculty increase data • Things HR & Budget will do: • Run analysis on data to confirm compliance • Respond to any questions

Allows user to drill down to find variances. • Budget Allocation Tool: Make permanent budget adjustments between FOPs to ensure allow budgets balance to zero
Restricted Fund Budgeting • Optional for units, but highly recommended for units that rely heavily on these resources to fund their ongoing needs • Unlike Unrestricted budgeting, no allocation that requires balancing • Suggest budgeting to net zero, or positive (reflecting rollover funds to the following year). • For funds in deficit, use transfer codes to represent funding transfers • If a budget has a negative net budget (deficit), and no funding source is known at the time of budget, then leave as is • Use revenue account code 50000 (Beginning Balance Roll-Over) to budget “beginning balance” for funds rolling over from FY13 to FY14 • First time budgets will start from scratch, but roll forward to future years
