What is a
Personnel Budget Report
? Employee Compensation Budget Reports are considered human capital planning analysis tools and are used by Budget Officers, HR and Financial Managers to get a clear overview of the total payroll expenses and employees included in the budget. Some of the main functionality in this type of report is that it shows all the employees, planned hires with final budget figures. It is parameter driven and the user can run it with full security for any budget version. The columns include: Job title by department, fund, employee name, FTEs, Current salary, Merit/Bonus amount, Overtime, FICA, Medicare, Retirement funding, Life insurance, Health insurance, Dental benefits, and Total compensation. You find an example of this type of report below.
