Good Afternoon:

After receiving feedback from various University stakeholders about increasing efficiencies, expediting administrative processes within Concur, and keeping in mind the mission of providing the best customer care services to the University community, we write to inform you of exciting changes coming to Company Bill Statement (CBS) Reports for ProCard reconciliation (which includes grant funded expenses) submitted through Concur, the University’s Travel & Expense management system.

Beginning Monday, May 17, 2021, CBS Reports for ProCard reconciliation will no longer require electronic approval within Concur by either Principal Investigator (PI) or Sponsored Program (SPS) groups. While the new change will go into effect on May 17, 2021, any in-progress CBS Reports for ProCard reconciliation submitted prior to the effective date of the change are subject to the previous workflow model which currently requires that PI and SPS approvals based on funding source. If you have any such CBS Reports in-progress, you may elect to recall and resubmit them in Concur after May 17, 2021 to take advantage of the new workflow model. Please keep in mind if such in-progress CBS Reports have already received Fiscal Officer (FO) approval, that same FO approval will again be required following resubmission.

If you have any questions, please reach out to pcard@uconn.edu.

Thank you,

Thank you,

RE:                  University Program Fringe Benefit Rates for FY22

 

The University has developed composite fringe benefit rates for FY22 for the University Program accounts. These rates are charged against employees on all non-sponsored research accounts, including those funded by tuition, state appropriation, auxiliaries, research IDC, fees, outside revenue and foundation. Ledgers 2, 3, 4 and some 6 (foundation accounts) all use these University Program rates. The new rates are effective with the first pay period in FY22 which will begin June 4, 2021.

The fringe rates are based on a combination of anticipated inflation and actual individual selections of retirement and health insurance plans. Please see below for a summary of the rates by employee group.

We will be providing departments with permanent funding to cover the fringe rate increases for Ledger 2 (OPTUI) accounts only. This will be done as part of the initial Budget Construction load. We will be sending a spreadsheet to each organization in the next two weeks with their total permanent funding and the total fringe rate adjustment amounts.

The University establishes distinct rates for University Program accounts and for Sponsored Programs accounts. The Sponsored Program rates will be provided separately.

If you have any questions on the University Program rates, please contact your assigned budget analyst or the Office of Budget & Planning at budget@uconn.edu.
