Both these tables are now available within SBS Budgets. Instructions on how to apply these scales can be found on your dashboard. Note: Please ensure you remove any inflation once the official scales are applied to your budget. If you were not budgeting for 2.75% inflation for your Support Staff, when you apply your scales, you may want to go back through your Payroll Reconciliations and adjust your Carry Forward value to ensure that you can accurately monitor the backdated pay. Alternatively, you can add a note to September's Payroll explaining that the variance is due to under budgeting. You may want to fix your budget and apply these scales to a new working budget to produce comparison reports on the impact of these increases on your budget.
