Department of Medicine RSA Monthly Meeting February 16, 2012 8:30am – 10:00am, Laurel Heights Room 376 Present: Ross Beard, Alice Chin, Lori Cripps (guest), Hung Dao, Joanne Dang, CM Dutton, Terry Gleason, Shawn Green, Denise Go, Lynn Ha, Nancy Huynh, Venecia Jacobs, Kathy Judd, Vicky Lee, Lily Luu, Annie Mar, Marissa Meyer, Wendy Ng, Eric Ormsby, Peter Padilla, Suzanne Sutton, Susana Szeto, Yvette Villicana, Eric Wu ______________________________________________________________________________ Chart of Accounts Project (COA) We invited Tammy Wallace, new Assistant Controller of Accounting and Reporting in the Controller's Office. She joined UCSF 6 months ago to expand reporting and implement the new COA. Judy Kelso at the last RSA Townhall Meeting had presented a broad overview of the project, including the rationale, design process, and project timeline on January 19th. We asked Tammy to present on how the new COA will affect the daily lives of RFMs during the transition and after implementation. The materials are attached. Highlights include the following: The new COA will add 8 more chart strings. New program identifiers will help to classify the purpose/objectives of the project such as research, education, etc., while the NCA will continue to be used to classify the expense. The new Dept ID will function the same as the depcode in terms of identifying who owns which funds but will not serve to provide access. The new environment will be open access to view all funds. Rather, the Dept ID will be used as filtering criteria when running reports. The Control Points are currently determining the Dept IDs and structure for departments. The new reporting solution to be designed will enable programmatic financial management. (We will invite Lori Cripps, Assistant Controller of Financial Reporting to present at a future meeting.) The fund will be used to classify the type of dollars across the Campus. For example, all federally sponsored contracts will share the same fund. The Medical Center will be converting to PeopleSoft and will be on the same system. There are discussions about how interface the Campus with the Medical Center. Lay Offs Policies and Procedures for Staff and NonFaculty Academics Katy Rau, Assistant Director of HR and Jane Ta, Academic HR Manager from the Department of Medicine were invited to present on the internal policies and procedures for layoffs so that RFMs can appropriately advise PIs when managing their portfolio and coordinate with division administrators appropriately. Please refer to the attached materials. Highlights include the following:

Department  of  Medicine  RSA  Monthly  Meeting  

February  16,  2012  8:30am  –  10:00am,  Laurel  Heights  Room  376  

   Present:    Ross  Beard,  Alice  Chin,  Lori  Cripps  (guest),  Hung  Dao,  Joanne  Dang,  CM  Dutton,  Terry  Gleason,  Shawn  Green,  Denise  Go,  Lynn  Ha,  Nancy  Huynh,    Venecia  Jacobs,  Kathy  Judd,  Vicky  Lee,  Lily  Luu,  Annie  Mar,  Marissa  Meyer,  Wendy  Ng,  Eric  Ormsby,  Peter  Padilla,  Suzanne  Sutton,  Susana  Szeto,  Yvette  Villicana,  Eric  Wu  ______________________________________________________________________________    Chart  of  Accounts  Project  (COA)    We  invited  Tammy  Wallace,  new  Assistant  Controller  of  Accounting  and  Reporting  in  the  Controller's  Office.    She  joined  UCSF  6  months  ago  to  expand  reporting  and  implement  the  new  COA.  Judy  Kelso  at  the  last  RSA  Townhall  Meeting  had  presented  a  broad  overview  of  the  project,  including  the  rationale,  design  process,  and  project  timeline  on  January  19th.    We  asked  Tammy  to  present  on  how  the  new  COA  will  affect  the  daily  lives  of  RFMs  during  the  transition  and  after  implementation.      The  materials  are  attached.    Highlights  include  the  following:    

The  new  COA  will  add  8  more  chart  strings.     New  program  identifiers  will  help  to  classify  the  purpose/objectives  of  the  project  such  as  research,  education,  etc.,  while  the  NCA  will  continue  to  be  used  to  classify  the  expense.    

The  new  Dept  ID  will  function  the  same  as  the  depcode  in  terms  of  identifying  who  owns  which  funds  but  will  not  serve  to  provide  access.  The  new  environment  will  be  open  access  to  view  all  funds.  Rather,  the  Dept  ID  will  be  used  as  filtering  criteria  when  running  reports.  The  Control  Points  are  currently  determining  the  Dept  IDs  and  structure  for  departments.    

The  new  reporting  solution  to  be  designed  will  enable  programmatic  financial  management.    (We  will  invite  Lori  Cripps,  Assistant  Controller  of  Financial  Reporting  to  present  at  a  future  meeting.)  

The  fund  will  be  used  to  classify  the  type  of  dollars  across  the  Campus.    For  example,  all  federally  sponsored  contracts  will  share  the  same  fund.      

The  Medical  Center  will  be  converting  to  PeopleSoft  and  will  be  on  the  same  system.    There  are  discussions  about  how  interface  the  Campus  with  the  Medical  Center.    

 Lay  Offs  Policies  and  Procedures  for  Staff  and  Non-­‐Faculty  Academics    Katy  Rau,  Assistant  Director  of  HR  and  Jane  Ta,  Academic  HR  Manager  from  the  Department  of  Medicine  were  invited  to  present  on  the  internal  policies  and  procedures  for  layoffs  so  that  RFMs  can  appropriately  advise  PIs  when  managing  their  portfolio  and  coordinate  with  division  administrators  appropriately.        Please  refer  to  the  attached  materials.    Highlights  include  the  following:  

Non-­‐faculty  academics  can  be  appointed  with  less  than  a  12-­‐month  appointment  and  the  start  date  can  be  "off-­‐cycle"  from  the  academic  year.    

For  staff  lay  offs,  PIs  need  to  allow  a  3-­‐6  month  timeline  to  enable  HR  to  review/implement  the    layoff.    CUE  employees  require  an  average  of  4-­‐6  months,  but  can    take  closer  to  6  months  depending  on  the  seniority  of  the  individual  and  the  review  process  mandated  by  the  contract.    Once  an  employee  has  been  issued  a  layoff  notification,  they  generally  have  a  choice  between  severance  and  preferential  rehire/recall.    Some  contracts  have  reduced  severance  in  addition  to  preferential  rehire/recall.      Please  consult  with  your  HR  Generalist  and  appropriate  contracts  for  this  information.    Severance  is  equal  to  one  week  for  every  full  year  of  University  Service  accrued  but  16  years  of  service  is  usually  the  most  used  to  calculate  the  severance  provided,  barring  specific  contracts.    

o HR  can  provide  the  analyst  an  estimate  of  the  amount  of  severance,  which  is  usually  charged  to  the  individual's  current  funding  sources.    The  analyst  would  need  to  indicate  the  proper  funds  allocation  since  federal  awards  can  be  charged  for  these  expenses.  

o Outplacement  costs  ($810  for  PSS  employees  and  $4K  for  MSP  employees)  are  obligatory  expenses  charged  to  the  division  (non-­‐federal  funds)  regardless  of  whether  the  employee  chooses  preferential  rehire  or  severance.    

Do  not  notify  the  employee  about  layoff  plans  until  the  proposed  is  approved  by  Labor  Relations.   The  notification  period  is  based  on  the  applicable  contract,  which  is  the  day  that  the  individual  receives  the  official  layoff  letter.  For  example,  CUE  and  UPTE  employees  must  receive  60  days  notification.    PPSM  staff  receive  30  days.    

Non-­‐faculty  academics  don't  receive  severance.    PIs  need  to  allow  3  months  for  process  from  beginning  to  end  to  be  complete.    

 Announcements  and  Updates    

RMS  is  still  recruiting  for  a  Team  Manager  for  Team  F.    There  are  two  candidates  currently  under  consideration.    

  Revised  changes  to  proposal  approval  policies  and  procedures  were  released  by  C&G  on  February  9th  through  the  listserve.    Effective  February  1st,  departmental  signature  on  non-­‐competing  continuations  and  sponsor  correspondence  such  as  1st  time  NCE,  CF,  rebudgeting  and  project  mods  are  no  longer  required.  Dean's  signature  is  no  longer  required  for  transfer/relinquishments,  fund  advance  requests  except  those  for  City  and  State  agreements,  and  PI  Status  Waivers.    

 Upcoming  RSA  Meetings    March  15,  2012  from  8:30-­‐10:00  am  in  LH  376  (Lily  Luu  and  Eric  Ormsby)  April  19,  2012  from  8:30-­‐10:00  am  in  LH  376  (Kathy  Judd)  May  17,  2012  from  8:30-­‐10:00  am  in  LH  376  (Wendy  Ng)  Staff  Retreat  on  June  21,  2012  from  8:30-­‐4:00  pm  in  TBD

Dept ID is single‐use: Cost Center A distinctly identifiable department, division, or unit of an 

organization whose managers are responsible for all its associated costs and for ensuring adherence to its budgets

Not intended to restrict reporting (access to information)

Dept ID

22

Current Structure: DepCode

What is DepCode? DepCode means “Department Code” DepCode resides in the AFP mainframe system A randomly assigned, six‐digit code

How is DepCode used? Identifies the organizational structure Maintain departmental roles and responsibilities As the home department for payroll Track ownership of assets Allow access to on‐line systems

Problem #2: DepCode is not a Chartfield

DepCode is only an attribute of other chartfields NCA DPA Fund Program Code

Example If a Fund and DPA combination in a given transaction don’t have the 

same DepCode then multiple DepCodes can own the transaction.

Result Reporting results are inconsistent when a transaction contains 

chartfields that have differing DepCodes.

Current Structure: DepCode

Problem #3: DepCode Tree Structure is Ambiguous

No enforced symmetry across Control Points School of Nursing uses only two levels SOM & FAS have up to six levels

No designated posting level

29

Current Structure: DPA

What is DPA? DPA means Departmental Account DPA is a chartfield in the current COA structure DPA is a 6 digit code that originally carried built‐in intelligence

1st two digits were Function (e.g., 40 = Instruction) 2nd two digits were School (e.g., 49 = School of Medicine) Last two digits were Department (e.g., Department of Medicine)
