10 Major components of the UCLA employee benefit expenditures include the following: OASDI,
Medicare, health insurance, life insurance, non-industrial disability insurance, workers compensation,
unemployment insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, vacation accruals, retirement
contributions.
11 Not applicable at UCLA. Actual employee benefit expenditures are based on individually calculated
and recorded benefit expenditures by type of employee benefit expense.
16 The decrease for the number of reference transactions can be contributed to several factors, which
at this time we can’t single out any one of these. We updated our library website, making it easier for
users to locate what they need. We handle more in-depth research sessions we track the amount of
time spent with the researcher and this has increased significantly, decreasing the number of actual
reference transactions. We updated our tracking for SIA (Summary of Instructional Activities)
interactions more comprehensively and can be inclusive with the reference transaction. We are
transitioning to a new access services model, and it can be that staff are not tracking each of their
interactions correctly as they are learning the new model.
