What is
a
Personnel Budget Assumptions Model
? Payroll Assumption models are considered workforce budget drivers and are often used by HR and budget managers to enter the assumptions needed to calculate benefit and salary budgets. Key functionality in this type of budget template provides input of drivers such as rates per salary grade, percentages (%) of regular and merit increases in salaries. Furthermore, the user can enter both percentages (%) and amount increases for items, such as, healthcare costs, social security and Medicare. You will find an example of this type of budget template below.

It also enables them to quickly create multiple scenarios (versions). When used as part of good business practices in a Budgeting and Planning department, a public sector institution can improve its budget process, as well as, reduce the chances that budget versions are static and time consuming to update.
