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, 2015, and the non-salary budgets. Please note that managers are receiving a separate memo today that includes details on University performance review guidelines, how to access specific merit increase charts, etc. The following 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.

Fiscal 2015 Budget Process and Deadlines
Merit recommendations are provided by managers based on employee performance during fiscal 2015. These recommendations are reviewed by the appropriate Associate Vice President and ultimately approved by Lou Nanni. We work closely with representatives from Human Resources and the Office of Budget & Planning to ensure the recommendations are consistent with University guidelines.
There are no incremental increases for non-salary budgets this year. If necessary, members of the budget team will work with your manager to re-allocate funds within the respective org to better align the budget plan with the spend activity.
Please note the following deadlines:
- May 1 Self-reviews finalized in Endeavor (send forward to your supervisor by May 1)
- Note: supervisors may designate an earlier deadline for the self-evaluation
- May 1 Managers finalize merit recommendations
- May 11 Associate Vice Presidents review and finalize merit recommendations
- May 15 Endeavor closes. Managers complete review (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 15 Compensation statements sent to managers for distribution
- June 23 Staff salary notifications are available online in InsideND
