Employee Budget Turnaround (BTA) Screen Navigation Aids

System Information:
  1. The online BTA system can be found at: https://primus.nss.udel.edu/bta
  2. A BTA Tutorial and Employee Instructions can be found at: http://www.udel.edu/BTA
  3. BTA must be accessed with the Internet Explorer browser. Bad data and calculations will occur if other browsers are used.
  4. Save changes often so data will not be lost.
Screen Navigation:
  1. Choose the current year 08-09 Employee Merit Increase on the Main Menu.
  2. Choose the Departmental User(BTA) Group to be reviewed.
  3. Choose the Make Changes button within each Personnel Category to enter detailed information for employees.
  4. Merit can be entered three ways:
    • Merit %
    • Merit Increase
    • BTA Annual Rate
    When entering merit by Merit Increase or BTA Annual Rate amounts, the percentage is calculated to four decimal’s (0.0000) but rounded to display only two decimals’s (0.00) in Merit %.

  5. Comments can be added for changes being made. Select comments and then save changes.
  6. When screens are completed, the Send to input box should be filled in with other reviewers or the Final Approver as appropriate. Select Finish & Submit.
  7. Final Approvers must return Employee BTA Screens to the Budget Office at the following e-mail address, bta@udel.edu
BTA JED:
  1. Before submitting any BTA JED, ‘Save Changes’ must be selected so as not to lose any work already submitted on the BTA screens.
  2. Only select the Action ‘JED’ one time per employee while in the BTA screens. Multiple selects will result in multiple BTA JED’s being originated and will create too high a JED increase.
  3. Originating a BTA JED will open a new browser window.
  4. Copies are not automatically generated. If an Originator, Supervisor, HR Liaison or the Employee themselves need a copy, that person will need to be added to the routing by the processor of the BTA JED.
  5. Approvals are not populated on the BTA JED except for a Final Approver in those units where one is set up. If the approval of a Supervisor, Account Code Administrator, etc is required by the unit, that person will need to be added to the routing by the processor of the BTA JED.
  6. When the ‘Finish and Submit’ button is selected on the BTA JED, the originator will be returned to their Web Forms inbasket. The originator should not “log out” if they will be doing additional BTA JED’s for other employees.
  7. Once the BTA JED has been submitted, the originator must return to the BTA screens and select 'Save Changes' to properly record the BTA JED increase.
  8. If an error message is received while processing a BTA JED, contact HR at hrsystemsadmin@udel.edu
