Our Goals for Today are...
Understanding the staffing list,
Know where to obtain assistance to help balance your list,
Know what staffing list reports to use,
Balance your staffing list.
I can’t believe
its true!!!
Resource Management and Planning & Payroll Division

5. WHAT is the staffing list?
The vehicle through which each department aligns its base budget with its actual staff & faculty salary commitments.
Contains permanent FTE, salary, and funding information.
Resource Management and Planning & Payroll Division

6. Why do we have a staffing list
We have a staffing list to:
Make sure we can pay everyone to whom we have made permanent commitments.
Ensure departments receive all base salary related funding.
Fulfill State of California reporting requirements.

7. Who is on the Staffing list?
Included on the list are:
Staff positions (SUBS) and academic positions (SBXX)
Indefinite appointment (end date = 99/99/99)
Some exceptions for academics
Resource Management and Planning & Payroll Division

8. What are the Guidelines?
Funding of salary adjustments must be provided in the fiscal year the change is implemented.
If the appointment ends permanently before June 30 of the current fiscal year, the base budget does not receive funding.
General Assistance (SUBG) positions are not reconciled in the staffing list process.
Resource Management and Planning & Payroll Division

9. More Guidelines - Funding of Staff Salary Actions – Who funds what?
For General Funds and Registration Fee Funds (Core funds)
Campus funds merits and ranges
Dean/Vice Chancellor and departments responsibility
Managing turnover savings
Funding above the last incumbents salary
Funding Reclassifications
Funding departmental equity adjustment decisions
All other funds
Dean/Vice Chancellor and department fund all salary actions
Resource Management and Planning & Payroll Division

10. Where does the list come from?
There are three distinct sections to the list.
1) Base Budget
DaFIS
2) Salary Commitments
Payroll Personnel System (PPS) and Provision Databases
3) Diagnostic section
Total base budget is compared to salary commitments
Poof!!

85. Resource Management and Planning & Payroll Division
Balancing form review
Remember when filling out the form that……
You are balancing your Base Budget to PPS + Provision entries.
PPS and provision entries may require you to enter a dollar amount on the form if it is a FTE or end date change in PPS.
Why? If the FTE or end date is incorrect then your dollar amount is incorrect. You need the figure to show that your entry will balance your account.
Resource Management and Planning & Payroll Division

86. Resource Management and Planning & Payroll Division

Exception to FTE rule!
If the FTE is left blank in PPS the system assumes it was 1.00 FTE and calculates the Gross Amount using that number.
In this case, you would just need to enter the FTE to balance.

Off-Scale Funding
DaFIS Document
New Hire – Deans’ Offices/Departments
Deans’ offices/departments are responsible for funding first 12 months.
Regardless of when the off-scale payment begins.
If fiscal years are crossed, prepare a CB to return extra funds to central account.
DPPS increment is treated like off-scale as far as funding to/from the central upgrade account, but the unit does not have to pay the first year cost.

Off-scale Example:
If off-scale = $2,000/year starting 3/1/11, then…
BB document is done 3/1/10 for FY from central off-scale account to department account for $2,000.
Remember a BB is to setup the next year funding.
CB document is not done for FY Department pays out of their account (4 months of commitment).
CB document is done 7/1/11 for remaining 8 months of commitment to return off-scale funding to central account.
