Updates to Budget Group Names

Accounting and Financial Management is working with the CFO’s office to ensure that all budget group names across campus are SB17 compliant by January 1, 2024. We performed a search using the same key words/phrases that central HR is using to look at job code and working title names, including:

Diver

Incl

Equit

DEI

EDI

race

ethnic

gender

sex

orientation

CRT

Chief Business Officers have a preliminary list of suggested changes to budget group names that will be processed by AFM, but we ask that you review your unit’s budget group names, as well. If you have any requested changes, please contact oa.far@austin.utexas.edu to have them processed as soon as possible. Please note that any changes made can be reviewed/edited in the new fiscal year; we just want to ensure compliance with SB17 by January 1.


Reminder: Opt-In to Electronic Only Receipt of W-2 Forms

The University strongly encourages all employees to opt-in to electronic only receipt of their 2023 Form W-2. The electronic only form is securely and reliably delivered to you in Workday and helps saves trees. Opt-in for electronic only delivery by following these quick and easy steps. The electronic only Form W-2 will be available in Workday before the paper version must be mailed on January 31, 2024.
