SLU Budget & Financial Planning
Position Budgeting
The position lists display the basic information about
positions. While most positions are fairly stable, turnover makes
separate positions and assignments a useful way to keep up to date
staffing information through the budget process and the actual year
of operation.
A full-time, full-year position (1,965 hours for CSEA and most
dining services employees and 2,096 hours for non-dining services
SEIU employees) should have an FTE (full-time equivalent) of 1.0.
Positions that are less than full-time, less than full-year, or split
between more than one account will have a decimal such as 0.75 or
0.83. Positions which have more than one employee assigned to them
(groundsman, general kitchen workers, etc.) will have an FTE of more
than 1.
The Positions and Assignments Listing displays, by object code,
the positions which have been established for each 6 digit departmental account as
well as the incumbent(s) currently assigned to the position. The
position number (5 digits), position title, FTE, and funding are
displayed.
The Supplemental Position Listing displays the positions which
have been established for each department. All funding sources
are listed, even if they are outside the department. The FTE and
funding for each fund source and the total FTE and funding for the
position are displayed. Employee assignments are not displayed.
Either the Positions and Assignments Listing or the
Supplemental Position Listing, whichever is more appropriate, is
distributed to a department.
Positions and Assignments Listing or Supplemental Position
Listing: Review the data for each position. If the 2007-08
Latest Revised Estimate or the 2008-09 Budget needs to be revised,
provide an update. Prepare and submit only the Positions
and Assignments Listing or the Supplemental Position Listing,
whichever is more appropriate for your department.
- The Latest Revised Estimate 2007-08 columns display the
current Latest Revised Estimate. Update the FTE and Funding data
with any known or anticipated changes in current position status
for 2007-08 and explain the nature of the change (vacant position,
grade change, etc.). If no change is anticipated, leave the
Updated LRE columns blank.
- In the Budget 2008-09 columns indicate any changes in FTE or Funding status
for 2008-09 and explain the nature of the change (elimination,
reclassification, title change, reallocation of funding, etc.). Funding
amounts are in 2007-08 dollars. The Budget Office will enter
salary and wage increases for specific positions when the per-person
salary planning is complete. New position
requests should not be included. If no change is anticipated,
leave the Updated Budget 2008-09 columns blank.
Please contact Peter Feickert (5559) if you have any questions.
