UCSF assesses departments and funds for employer expenses associated with most benefits based on a fixed percentage of an employee’s salary, known as a Composite Benefit Rate (CBR). More information including benefits costs by employee group is available on the Budget and Resource Management website.
Certain benefit expenses are assessed in addition to the CBR.
The following benefits charges are computed as a straight percentage of payroll.
