Budgeting for Salaries

 05-15-23

I’m conducting research on how other counties budget for the HHS salary/fringe lines. 

 

I am receiving guidance from a higher level to budget salary/fringe based on actual average spent in the prior year (adding in expected contract wage increases) instead of taking each individual position expected salary/fringe for the next year.  We’ve been under budget for a few years, but have continuously had vacant positions in the agency. 

 

Wanting to hear from others on how you calculate salary/fringe expenditures into the budget. Thank you all in advance!

Reconciling incentives

 05-08-23 

Do counties reconcile incentives from collections? Incentives, such as, MFIP/DWP, SNAP, AFDC,MSA, MA…

 

If so, how do you do it?

 

Thanks,
