I should have no staffing additions next year. Staff Manager 1 Sr. 2 Average to High Training Both Seniors should attend 1 personal enrichment class (Effective Communication) and 1 Technical class. I think that everything else should roll for next year. Let me know what else I need to give you.

SALARIES, SALARIES, SALARIES!!! Everyone is having problems. Unfortunately, many of you are new to your jobs and did not inherit paperwork to know what your staff's salary is. I have the average salary for each of the different staffing levels. I have asked the HR department to also give me the low and the high. Let's face it - your staff today and their salary most likely are not what they are going to be next year! To much movement of people. So using estimates and averages will probably be as accurate as using current salary levels. Here's what you can do: 1) Make a list of your staff just their positions. 2) Then put down if you think I should budget high, mid, average, low, low to average, etc. You can guess at this based on their experience, length of time in that position, etc. 3) Then I will calculate out an estimated salary to use for your budget. 4) Here is the average: Sr. $4,961 Spec $3,964 Staff $3,026 Sr. Clrk $2,548 Clerk $2,264 Asst $3,162 Your list would look something like this: Assistant Average Clerk Very High Sr. Clerk Low Specialist Low to Average Specialist Average Sr. Specialist Average to High Analyst (They are all allocated at the same amount) You can , however, use the exact amounts if you have them. It's up to you. Next Item - TRAINING!!! Here's what you can do: 1) List your staff and the type of class they need 2) If you don't know the exact class you want to send them to, then list what type of class - for example personal enrichment (i.e. Time Management) or Technical (Derivatives or Applied Finance or Wellhead to Burnertip) 3) The personal enrichment classes cost aroung $500-$700 4) The technical classes cost aroung $800 - $1000. 5) Just list the type of class, and I'll do the rest. Next Item - Headhunters! Try 20% of the new hires salary for their fees. Other Stuff - I have made a list of all of the unusual items we do during the year that people forget about at budget time (i.e. flowers for secretaries day, birthday ice cream, offsite meeting costs, customer gifts). If you forget these items, I will make sure it is added to your budget. Once I put all of your budget information into the spreadsheets, we will review them so that they can be adjusted as necessary and you can approve them.Hopefully this helps you some. Diane x-37059
