*Important* Working Budget File Update & Merit Planning Tool

Colleagues,

As of this evening, we have not received merit guidance from HR.  Hopefully, we will receive it in the coming days.  Thus, we are updating the due date from this Thursday, May, 4, 2023 to next Thursday, May 11, 2023. 

We expect that your working budget files should be close to finalized at this time and once the HR guidance is received you will be able to quickly update and finalize your working budget file to meet the next Thursday, May 11, 2023 due date.

Finally, CBO has provided a Merit Planning tool similar to what was provided last year.  This is a planning tool ONLY.  It will be available to you via the shared Box folder tomorrow morning.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Have a good evening.

Best,
