--- title: "To Be Announced (TBA) Positions" canonical: "https://kb.uconn.edu/space/FPB/10942120077/To%20Be%20Announced%20(TBA)%20Positions" format: markdown --- Budget Construction is populated with salary data by currently filled positions from the University's HR Payroll System (CORE-CT) as of mid-February. Any position posted after mid-February will not be loaded into the Budget Construction module and will need to be added via TBA Positions. For any other positions you need to plan for during the next fiscal year, you can do so by adding a "To Be Announced" position, also known as a TBA position.  When adding a TBA position, it is important that funding be available. TBA positions added to Budget Construction should not be interpreted as "approved" positions and do not replace the need for entry and approval in Recruitment Solutions. A TBA position can be added to represent an individual or a group of individuals. It is up to the user's discretion on how detailed the budget should be for TBA positions added to a given account/department. ## > Macro (anchor) > Macro (anchor) Adding a TBA Position > ℹ️ Review [Understanding the Budget Construction Selection](https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FPB/pages/10942119950) before beginning this process. 1.
