Educator Solutions Budget Planner Year End
The Year End button must not be clicked until the next upgrade of the Budget Planner Software (Version 2.09) has been released. The 2.09 upgrade will not be released until the 2019-20 Budget Share has been released.
If the Year End button is clicked whilst using version 2.08 of the Budget Planner Software the budget will roll forward to 2019-20, however the data will not be correct as additional files are required to be downloaded with regards to the Support Staff Pay Scale changes from 01 April 2019.
We are aware that some schools may be under the impression that their Support Staff Costs will drastically increase from the current forecast for 2019-20 once the new Pay Scale structure is implemented, however this should not be the case. Within the 2018-19 Support Staff Pay Scales we have included the higher salary costs for points that are merging.
For example, Spinal Points 6 and 7 will amalgamate to Spinal Point 1 from April 2019; both Spinal Points have the same salary cost applied from April 2019 (which can be viewed by selecting a Support Staff Pay Scale from the Payscales screen in the Budget Planner). Further guidance on the variances within the Support Staff forecasts will be provided with the year end instructions.
