Decisions in practice

See what a position change means for next term.

Compare current and proposed FTE, see what remains vacant, and follow the change through approval for its intended start date.

Staffing example

Today: A program coordinator position has 0.8 approved FTE and a 0.5 FTE assignment, leaving 0.3 vacant FTE.

Proposed change: Increase the position to 1.0 FTE from September. Once approved, this adds 0.2 approved FTE from that date.

After approval: If the assignment stays at 0.5 FTE, the position has 0.5 vacant FTE. Changing the employee's assignment is a separate staffing decision.

Questions you can answer

  • How much FTE is approved, assigned, and still available?
  • Does next term call for more approved capacity or a change in assignments?
  • When would the change take effect?
  • Who needs to approve the request?

Use your institution's schedules and full-time standards to compare staffing consistently.

Workforce Budgeting adds labor budgets, calculated compensation, and financial reports.
