[What to include in a personnel budget]

  • Base pay, position and other allowances (fixed)
  • Overtime and late-night premiums (variable)
  • Bonuses (semi-annual / annual)
  • Social insurance (employer portion)
  • Retirement allowance (contributions or accruals)
  • Recruiting costs (job ads for mid-career hires, etc.)

  1. 1.Roll up confirmed costs for current staff: auto-estimate next period from current payroll, assuming raise and bonus rates.
  2. 2.Add the hiring plan: enter headcount, start months, and salary ranges for planned hires.
  3. 3.Aggregate total personnel cost by department, then finalize after department heads review and adjust.

[Reconcile with actuals]

Payroll actuals feed into budget management monthly, so budget vs. actual variance is shown in real time.
