I agree. You get quality staff to stay if they are appreciated financially.
I replaced the third document above with a new one. If you open it, you will see a revised personnel budget with two suggestions off to the side.
1. 1.7 % COLA raise to all staff (except house parent and a volunteer coordinator – a position you have not approved yet) for a total of $5,252. This does include Arlys and Dave – everyone.
2. 1.7% COLA for shelter hourly personnel only is $2,674.
We looked at giving all hourly shelter employees a .50 cent/hr raise – and it came to slightly more than the COLA. These are all suggestions.
My opinion is – that it is a small price to pay for 8-10 people to feel a little bit more appreciated.
Yes, the advertising budget needs to be looked at and can be separated as requested.
I would suggest a slight refinement in the Advertising category. It might be helpful to break out the advertising expenses into:
Print | Radio | Television | Other
Perhaps this detail does not need to be in the main budget, but at least broken down somewhere.
The printing expenses that relate to advertising (like the newsletter, brochure, etc.,) can be moved under advertising, and the printing expenses that relate to basic office expenses can remain in theoffice expense area. I anticipate that our advertising expenses should grow, and the current $250 budget value can be refined.
agree for sure! We should have done that already.
Where was the ‘health club benefit’ put in the budget? Seems like it should go somewhere?
On our 2015 budget, Brad mentioned that the staff benefit column wasn’t really benefits but “taxes” of various kinds. Guess he didn’t want to change the label of that column?
So, we need to find how much more after grants/donations?
‘Clinical’ spelled wrong, twice 😉
Granted our shelter is well built, is $310/mo for fuel adequate (maybe we are on one of those budget plans) and electric comes to $286/mo. seems low for as a large a building as we have. But you crunched the numbers. We are blessed.
what is the difference between section 4 (operating)and section (shelter)5 staff/board cpr training besides the amount. Just anticipating more staff and volunteers?
Then, in those sections, the staff/board had $5,500 training.
Mediation in both of those sections, again were $2,000 each-what is the difference: counseling for kids,and legal mediation if we need it for grievances for the other area?
Good you added those taxes on the new properties.
OHN and general advertising is under $300. Should we anticipate more or do we get some donated?
So basically, my questions were just lack of understanding..but thanks for taking the time to explain. kb
Kathy – thanks – Since all of these documents are ones that QB or Arlys generates – some of the items you mentioned – will not be changed for a bit. Other items have been changed (5500 and 2000) but you are seeing the old documents – not new ones.
The fuel and electric bills are actuals. In other words – we are not guessing.
