Creating New Budget Strings and Establishing the Budget for HR/PR Use When a new budget is being set up, many procedures/processes must be followed. In addition to following the campus/Business Office procedure, the campus also needs to contact Fiscal Services and request that the new budget be established for Human Resources (HR) and Payroll (PR) use. If the new budget is not set up for HR/PR use, the Human Resources Specialist will not be able to input the budget into PeopleSoft. And, if the budget cannot be input, neither can the contract (ESA, TCS, Intent, etc.). Please contact the appropriate person in Fiscal Services to ensure that the set-up of the new budget is complete prior to sending the new contract to Human Resources. Fiscal Services will need to know the entire budget string and the effective date. The effective date is the “Beginning Date” on the contract.
