     University Salary Turnover Policy - Fund 102
Salary turnover will be used to cover education preparation adjustments, union transfers, probationary increases, reclassifications, and raises on fixed term contract renewals in the fiscal year in which they occur.  In addition, length of service payments may be paid each fiscal year from salary turnover.  Fifty percent of the net salary turnover will be returned at the university level to be allocated at the discretion of the Chancellor.
 University Salary Turnover Guidelines for Business Managers

1. University Gross
Not Subject to Turnover Split (use these reasons on your budget transfers)

  • Permanently refilling the existing position (hired at higher rate than budgeted)
  • Temporary staff to fill in behind vacant position (direct duties or sabbaticals)
  • Sick leave replacement (also jury duty)
  • Ed Prep code adjustments

Note: Faculty promotions and Category B Academic Staff promotions within title will be estimated and must be base budgeted in the colleges' reserve accounts.

Other Fund 102 Issues:

  • Grad $ and grad fte - base $ should always equal fte in account
  • Recruitment and Retention Funds - Personnel are base transfers; S&S are one time transfers
  • Reorganizations - units are required to get the Chancellor's approval for policy exceptions if they do not want to share the turnover dollars
  • LTE transfers - these funds are being recorded on an excel spreadsheet and may be subject to salary turnover if the source of funds are from the permanent salary lines
     5.2   University Reserve Allocation (Rev. 6/10/86)
           All funds allocated from the University Reserve Account not used 
              as specified in the initial request shall be returned to the 
              University Reserve account unless the Chancellor approves spending 
              these funds differently.  Allocations from the University Reserve 
              account would normally be one-time allocations.  When allocations 
              are made, they will be identified as one-time or continuing 
              allocations.

     5.3   Use of 150 Fund Indirect Cost Reimbursement Account (Rev. 
           6/30/82)
           The purpose of this policy paper is to establish guidelines for 
              the use and distribution of the 150 Appropriation Indirect Cost 
              Reimbursement account.  The recent increases in grant dollars and 
              the continuing commitment in personnel requires some clarification  
              of the issues related to this account.

     5.4   Employee Benefit Fund for funds 128 (Non-Auxiliary), 129, 136, 150, 180 
            Activities  (Rev. 11/16/87)
           The purpose of this paper is to establish policy outlining the 
              development of a reserve for the purpose of paying costs related 
              to Worker's Compensation and Unemployment Compensation.

     6.2   Summer Session Budgeting (Rev. 6/30/82)
           This policy made the Summer School budget a part of the divisional 
              budgets, and thus the responsibility of each division.  Some 
              permanent base reallocation was made to reflect the previous 
              allocation patterns.  Each division has the responsibility to 
              support Summer School just as they do the Academic Year.  Thus, 
              Summer School is no longer treated in a unique way by the UBC.
                        
     6.4   Position Control Non-GPR Funds (Rev. 1/22/82)
           All faculty with tenure budgeted to a non-GPR account must hold a 
              "concurrent appointment" within the unit's GPR budget.  The 
              "concurrent appointment" within the unit may be filled with 
              temporary staff.  However, the flexibility must remain within the 
              unit to regain the position and salary dollars within one fiscal 
              year.  No tenured faculty may be budgeted to a non-GPR 
              appropriation unless funding has been assured by the source or the 
              unit.  This policy shall not apply to auxiliary services.

     6.6   Flexibility Between Budget Lines and Accounts (12/12/91)
           Account Administrators are authorized flexibility to transfer 
              between budget lines and accounts as determined by UW System and 
              University policy.  Budget transfers between budget lines and 
              accounts must be approved by the appropriate Division office.  
              This action legitimizes the transfer to the Budget, Planning & Analysis Office.
                                    
     University Policy Paper #82-31
     Establishment and Revision of Rate and Fee Schedules
     This policy provides guides/criteria/requirements for establishing 
        University rate/fee schedules representing charges for goods and/or 
        services rendered and the procedures for review and approval of 
        those schedules.  Specifically, the policy is concerned with 
        rate/fee schedules which provide the University and its sub-units 
        with funding through the following sources:  segregated fees (Auxiliaries
        only); user charges; sales; charges to other campus accounts.
