Compensation and Benefits is the single largest component of CSU's budget request.
Compensation is included in the core request.
Also, in addition to our core request, there are specific initiatives proposed by the governor for K-12 academics in the state wherein CSU plays an implementation role. CSU administers both programs. Budgeted compensation is allocated to campuses for distribution by campus presidents once the State's budget is adopted. While distributions to departments vary due to the size of the department and the number of eligible employees, campus presidents are responsible for the distribution of compensation to departments and other organizational units in a manner most appropriate to fulfill the contractual agreements. PERS manages the health care programs for CSU employees as well as for other state employees.
