Trustees flag salary-line variance driven by payroll timing, director explains
Summary
Trustees noted the salary line showed a 16% overrun for the month; Director Ryan said the variance resulted from three pay periods being captured in the month rather than two and overlapping promotions following a staff departure.
A trustee noted the salary line in the expense report appeared 16.5% over budget for the month. Director Ryan said the variance arose because three payrolls fell into the reporting month instead of two and because of temporary overlap from internal promotions after an employee left.
"It's because I included a payroll that was into this month... so you have three payrolls in there instead of two," Ryan said. Trustees agreed to monitor payroll fluctuations and asked Ryan to review the salary line for timing effects in the next report.
