Academic (Non-Block - Tenure and Tenure Track Positions) Staff Benefits:
The College covers the actual cost of staff benefits on Academic positions. Staff Benefits are allocated as an estimate on an annual basis to the Divisions on general operating funds. At the end of the fiscal year, the actual cost is compared to the allocation estimate. If the allocation estimate was less than the actual cost, the College transfers to the Division the additional cost to cover the shortfall. If the allocation estimate was higher than the actual cost,the amount over the cost estimate is transferred back to the College.
Academic Appointments in Life Sciences:
All cost savings on Staff Benefits from CAFNR Faculty with MOU agreements in Life Sciences, returns to the College.
Closing an Academic Position:
When an Academic position becomes open, the current Staff Benefit, Flat Rate percentage is calculated on the funding sources of the salary and transferred to the College on a pro-rated base for cost and the annual amount for Rate.
Filling an Academic Position:
When an Academic position is filled, the current Staff Benefit, Flat Rate percentage is calculated on the funding sources of the salary and transferred to the Division on a pro-rated base for cost and the annual amount for Rate.
Non-AcademicStaff, Professional Track and Academic Associates(Block):
Campus allocated Staff Benefits to the College in FY2004. The allocation wasn’t enough to cover 100% of the staff benefits cost at the full rate. The Division/Department was advised of the shortfall based on all rate backed positions so they could develop a plan to cover the shortfall from open positions, rate savings or operating on a cost basis each year. If there’sa shortfall on the actual cost of the Staff Benefits allocation each fiscal year, the Division/Department is responsible for covering.
Staff Benefits Flat Rate:
During the budget building for a new Fiscal Year, Campus communicates what the next Fiscal Year Flat Rate will be.

Depending on the Budget Allocation guidelines set by Campus each year, we may or may not receive additional funding sources to cover the staff benefits Flat Rate increases if there is one.
