Base Salary

The following image shows the Base Salary section of the Update Periods modal, for just one period as an example.

This section includes

• Monthly Base Salary
• Update Salary
• Salary Inflation Rate (%)
• Adjusted Monthly Base Salary

The Monthly Base Salary for the first period is, by default, the value entered as the Starting Monthly Salary on the Line Setup page. For any following periods, the Monthly Base Salary will be the prior period’s Adjusted Monthly Base Salary value.

For personnel that are paid hourly, the Starting Monthly Salary value, on the Line Setup modal, will be equal to the hourly rate of pay times the number of hours in a standard month (173.3 hours).聽

The Salary Inflation Rate is the value specified in the Inflation & Benefit Rates section of the Properties tab page.

The Adjusted Monthly Base Salary is automatically calculated. It equals the Monthly Base Salary amount increased by the Salary Inflation Rate.

Effort

The following image shows the Effort section of the Update Periods modal.

This section includes

• Months
• % Effort
• Person Months

Months is auto-calculated based on two data values:

• The length of the period in months
• Worker Position Type (calendar vs. academic) on the Line Setup modal

A budget period that includes a leap year will not affect the Months calculation.

% Effort is auto-calculated based on the initial % Effort entered on the Line Setup page.

Person Months is automatically calculated and is equal to: Months times Effort.

Period Salary Totals

The Period Salary Totals row shows the total for each period and in the far right Summary column, the total for the project.

• • Period Salary Total = Adjusted Monthly Base Salary times Person Months

Add a Salary Increase for a Promotion between Periods

The Problem

When you add a person to a project, their appointment (or sub object code) is specified for the length of that project and cannot be changed.

So what do you do for a researcher who will get a promotion and a raise at the end of the first period, for example? Our researcher is currently a Senior Fellow for the first period and then an Assistant Professor for the second and subsequent periods.

The Solution

Use two budget line items: one for the current appointment and one for the future appointment. Each appointment will be used for a separate period.

The Implementation

Add a Salary and Benefits line item for the researcher in the first period with the current appointment, and with the appropriate amount of effort. For the second, and all future periods, change the salary to $0 and the effort or person months to 0%.

Add a second Salary and Benefits line item for the same researcher with the future appointment. Enter the salary as $0 for the first period and the new salary amount for the second period. The new salary will automatically cascade to the future periods.

Schematically, the salary changes look like this, with example salary figures.

SAGE displays the worksheet with the researcher鈥檚 salaries for the first and second periods of the project.

• In the first period, the researcher will make $50,000 as a Senior Fellow. In the second period as a Senior Fellow, they will make $0.
• In the first period as an Assistant Professor they’ll make $0 but in the second they’ll make $85,000.

Add a Salary Increase for a Promotion during a Period

The Problem

This time the researcher鈥檚 promotion from Senior Fellow to Assistant Professor will occur in the middle of the first period.

The Solution

Use two budget line items: one for the current appointment and one for the future appointment. The line for the future appointment will be adjusted for the one period in which the promotion occurs.

The Implementation

Add a Salary and Benefits line item for the researcher in the first period with the current appointment. Let鈥檚 assume that the promotion will take effect half-way during the period.

So, on the line item for the current appointment, you would indicate 50% effort. Then on the line item for the future appointment, you would also indicate 50% effort. Finally, on the following periods, you would adjust the effort on the current appointment to 0%, and on the future appointment to 100%,

In SAGE Budget, we revised how calculations are made for salary distributions.

• In the March 2013 release, we revised salary calculations to include additional earn types. We found a few rare cases where SAGE Budget lists inaccurate salaries when the salary distributions have not yet been entered into the HR database. We have now revised SAGE Budget to account for the distributions which are not in the database.

We updated our tools’ styles.

To ensure that our tools have a more consistent look and are easier to maintain, we made some changes in our code. In some newer browsers, you may notice slightly different colors, rounded corners, and other minor changes. The changes were made in the following tools:

• SAGE – System to Administer Grants Electronically
• FIDS – Financial Interest Disclosure System
• SPAERC –聽Sponsored Projects Administration & Electronic Research Compliance (for OSP)
• SERA –聽System for Electronic Research Accounting (for GCA)
