Assistant Vice President for Budget Planning

RE:
FY 2016 Annual Budget First Proof – due Monday, April 6
To prepare for the development of the FY 2016 annual budget, please verify the budget position listing
for your department or area. You can obtain a copy from HRIS, under KSU Annual Budget/ Reports/
Position Listing Report. Please make sure you run it for FY 2016. This report will include all unclassified
and university support staff employees on budgeted HRIS positions as of March 1, 2015. FY 2016 benefit
rates have been applied to the budget. Your budget has been updated to reflect the changes that have
occurred since the FY 2015 budget was finalized last August.
Please make any necessary modifications and corrections to a paper copy of the budget position listing
and return it to our office either via paper or scan by Monday, April 6th. We request you mark changes
clearly, preferably in a color besides black, so it shows up easily. Instructions for verifying information on
the budget position listing are attached.
Please remember to budget individuals on phased retirement and sabbaticals at their full 1.0 FTE salary to
allow for correct benefit calculations. These positions should be identified with a line note indicating that
they are on phased retirement or sabbatical. We have already added the sabbatical line notes for the
individuals that were approved for FY 2016.
This letter and attached instructions may also be found on the Annual budget preparation section of our
website: http://www.k-state.edu/budget/annualbudget.html. The current fringe benefit rate table is also
there, as is the explanation for detail coding of the budget position list, and our planning calendar, subject
to change as needed. Please call me if you have questions regarding this memo. If you have questions
concerning your budget proof, please call the Budget Office.
