One place for position data
FTE Tree gives HR, finance, and department managers a shared view of approved positions and staffing. Each team can answer its own questions without maintaining a separate copy of the position register.
What each team needs to see
| Team | Typical question | Information to review |
|---|---|---|
| HR | Which roles are filled, vacant, or changing? | Positions, assignments, vacancies, and requests |
| Department managers | What needs a decision in my department? | Accessible positions, staffing follow-up, and requests |
| Finance | What capacity is planned, and what would a change cost? | Labor budget, proposed workforce changes, and financial reports |
| Leadership | Which staffing option should we pursue? | Approved capacity, alternatives, and the proposed decision |
Access roles and department coverage determine which records each person can view or change. Workforce Planning controls access to labor budget and actual compensation separately from everyday position information.
What FTE Tree does
Consider a department that wants to change a vacant 0.5 FTE position to 1.0 FTE. The department can describe the staffing need in a position request. Reviewers can consider the proposed change and its supporting information, with finance reviewing budget information when needed.
The proposal and the approved position remain distinct while the request is reviewed. Comments, files, reviewers, and decisions stay with the request. The approved structure and employee assignments explain what is currently in place.
Effective dates show when position and staffing changes apply. Activity history helps people with access review what changed.
Choose the scope your team needs
Position Control provides approved positions, employees, assignments, vacancies, requests, approvals, and position reports. Workforce Planning adds labor budget, actual compensation, forecasts, and financial reports.
Custom fields follow access to the record they belong to. Use actual compensation for employee pay that needs its separate access controls and calculations.
Evaluate it with a real workflow
Choose a representative group of positions and involve the people who maintain records, review costs, and approve changes. Walk through a vacancy or proposed position change, then check whether the result answers each team’s question.
