    <div><strong>WE HAVE SOME VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO SHARE...I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THE LENGTHY MESSAGE BELOW.</strong></div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><strong>TO ENSURE A SMOOTH TRANSITION OF RESPONSIBILITIES FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT BACK TO THE AAOU SSC, PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION BELOW THOROUGHLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY, AND TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Good Afternoon AAOU SSC Departments!<div><br></div>
    <div>The AAOU SSC will be fully staffed as of Monday, May 8th 2023. We are planning to begin the transition of departments back to shared services full operations using a phased in approach over the course of the next 4-12 weeks. The goal is to have all departments resume full-service operations by the end of July 2023. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We anticipate four (4) phases of re-onboarding with the first phase commencing as early as PR-2023-026, and the final phase with PR-2024-003.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The first step in our re-onboarding plan, is to complete an audit of all department activity that has occurred starting with PR-018 <em>(the first period departmental staff took on the HR/Payroll duties) </em>through the current period (PR-023) to verify all required reports, files and supporting documentation has been appropriately saved to the shared Google Drive folder(s). </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Our audit will determine which departments are ready to be phased back into shared services full operations, and those with no outstanding items will be prioritized to resume full-services in the earlier phases.<br>
    </div>
    <div>
    <br>As we begin our audit we will be contacting departments individually to inform you of your department's current status, expected re-onboarding timeline, and to advise of any outstanding items required and due date, before re-onboarding can occur for your department.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL REQUIRED FILES AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION IS SAVED FOR ALL TRANSACTIONAL ACTIVITY, TO ENSURE UNIVERSITY AUDIT COMPLIANCE AND ADHERENCE WITH RECORD RETENTION POLICIES. </strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please take some time <strong><em>as soon as possible</em></strong>, to review your department's activity during the period of PR-018 through PR-023 and ensure all files are up to date, and all supporting documentation has been saved to the appropriate folders on the shared Google Drive <em>(i.e Time Entry folders for all time entry actions and reports, Personnel folders for all personnel changes, such as new hires, terminations, pay rate changes, etc)</em>. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Upon completion of our audit, we will contact you and there will be a very quick turnaround to provide any outstanding items at that point, so ensuring everything is in working order now, will help streamline the process for all involved.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>To help you prepare for the audit of your departments activity and related files:</strong></div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Please make sure the following items are accounted for </strong>(items with an asterisk* are only required to be saved if the report was applicable to your department, or if your department had such activity);<em> i.e. a department that does not have any benefit eligible employees will not have a Detailed Leave Report available to save</em>). Items not marked with an asterisk* are required for all departments <em>(i.e. all departments should have a Time Entry report and Completed Report saved):</em>
    </div>
    <div><ul>
    <li><strong>Time Entry Reports for PR-018 through PR-023</strong></li>
    <li><strong><em>Detailed Leave Reports* </em>for PR-018 through PR-023</strong></li>
    <li><strong>Time Entry BURST Reports for PR-018 through PR-023 which include:</strong></li>

    <li><em>Pay Schedules*</em></li>
    <li><em>Payroll Adjustment Forms*</em></li>

    <div><br></div>
    <div>We expect that your working budget files should be close to finalized at this time and once the HR guidance is received you will be able to quickly update and finalize your working budget file to meet the next Thursday, May 11, 2023 due date.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Finally, CBO has provided a Merit Planning tool similar to what was provided last year.  This is a planning tool ONLY.  It will be available to you via the shared Box folder tomorrow morning.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please let us know if you have any questions.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Have a good evening.</div>

<Title>UPDATE: FY24 Budget - True Up</Title>

    <div>The "true up" for both COLAs is for vacant lines.  For merit, we allocated an additional amount for all units so that folks had a little more flexibility in awarding merit.<br>

<Title>IMPORTANT: FY2024 Working Budget Files</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Colleagues,</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>We are excited to kick off the FY2024 budget process! As one of the first steps in this process, we are sharing your FY2024 Working Budget files so that you can start making any necessary adjustments to salary lines and updating your operating revenues and expenses. Your Working Budget files can be found in our shared Box folder (FY24 folder/FY24 Working Budget File folder).  We encourage you to begin updating your file ASAP as there will be a quick turnaround this year.  </p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>Later this month, we will send you a preliminary State Support control number.  Your control number will be calculated using your current FY2023 budget as the starting point and will be adjusted to cover your mandatory FY2024 expenses (COLA, merit, and minimum wage).  Your completed and balanced budget file is due to the AAOU SSC staff (Vania, Mike, and Martina) by <strong>Thursday, May 4, 2023</strong>. </p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>Should you receive any additional resources through the strategic budgeting process, your file will be sent back to you in June, and you will be given time to make those adjustments at that point.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><strong>Detailed instructions for completing your FY2024 Working Budget file have been embedded in the first tab of the file.</strong>  We also encourage you, or members of your team, to join the Central Budget Office (CBO) team for one of the two training sessions they are holding later this month (links below).  </p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><strong>IMPORTANT UPDATES:</strong></p>
    <p><strong><u>All Funds Budgeting</u></strong></p>
    <p>For FY2024, we will be required to budget for all self-support and restricted funds (1112-1116, 1253, 1263).  Thus, the FY24 Working Budget files should include all estimated self-support and research activity.  The CBO has provided Trend Data by fund and account in the Working Budget files to assist with this task.</p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><strong><u>Turnover Expectancy</u></strong></p>
    <p>Beginning last year, Turnover Expectancy was budgeted as a percent of total State Support salaries.  We made the decision to budget this at the division level for FY2023 and will continue this in FY2024, with the exception of those units/departments that had previously established Turnover Expectancy budgets.  This is subject to change in future fiscal years as we perform further analysis to determine the best methodology.  </p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>Finally, a series of time slots has been created between May 2nd and May 4th. Should you wish to schedule time with the AAOU SSC staff to help address concerns regarding your working file, please use the following link:</p>

    <p>  <br></p>
    <p>We are here to answer any questions and provide assistance.  Thank you in advance for your assistance in the FY2024 Working Budget process!</p>
