Budget 2020 Planning and Timeline

Posted on by

University Relations Staff

It is that time of year when we focus on the preparation of the budget for next fiscal year.  The annual operating budget process includes proposed salary increases that are effective July 1, 2019, and the non-salary budgets.  Please note that managers are receiving a separate memo that includes details on University guidelines, how to access specific charts, etc.  This communication is intended to highlight the budget process and timeline internal to University Relations (UR) and to ensure you are familiar with the process and key contacts.

The Budget Team

  • Mark Witucki – Alumni Association
  • Mary Ellen Koepfle, Geoff Stookey, Brenda Carr – Development

Fiscal 2020 Budget Process and Deadlines

Merit recommendations are provided by managers based on employee performance during fiscal 2019.  These recommendations are reviewed by the appropriate Associate Vice President and ultimately approved by Lou Nanni.  Human Resources and the Office of Budget & Planning audit these recommendations to ensure consistent application of University guidelines.

There are no incremental increases for non-salary budgets this year. Where appropriate, the budget team will be working with your unit to re-allocate funds within the org to better align the budget plan with the spend activity.

Please note the following deadlines:

  • April 29         Self-reviews finalized in Endeavor – Step 5 (send forward to your supervisor by April 29)
  • Note: supervisors may designate an earlier deadline for the self-evaluation
  • May 3            Managers finalize merit recommendations
  • May 8            Associate Vice Presidents review and finalize merit recommendations
  • May 10         Managers complete review in Endeavor –(send forward to HR by close of business)
  • Note: make sure Endeavor shows overall rating for your employee before sending forward
  • May 15         Vice President approves merit recommendations
  • June 14         Compensation statements sent to managers for distribution (if HR audit is final)
  • June 21         Staff salary notifications are available online in InsideND

 

Should you have any questions regarding the performance review process or the budget process, please let us know.

Farewell to Debbie Loughran

Posted on by

With regret, I must announce that Debbie Loughran will be leaving our team as of April 12th. Debbie has been a great, and successful, member of the West Region for the past several years, and she will be sorely missed. Her enthusiasm, postive outlook and connection to donors set a high bar for the entire organization.

 Debbie will be assuming the role of  Associate Superintendent of Development for the Diocese of Orange CA. The Diocese of Orange is the seventh largest diocese in the United States and supports 34 elementary and 7 secondary schools. In this role she will continue her commitment to promoting Catholic education and fostering our mission to be a force for good in our community. The Notre Dame family will be close by, as she will be working alongside fellow Domers –  Dr. Erin Barisano ’93 (Superintendent of Schools) and Liz Jensen ’94 (CFO).
 In Debbie’s words-
“It has been a privilege to serve Our Lady’s University with such a wonderful group of individuals. I am proud of the work we have done in Southern California that will provide ongoing impact benefiting Notre Dame. May God continue to bless all of this good work.”
 
Please send Debbie an email of thanks and appreciation for her great work and tremendous attitude while serving Our Lady.
