Review staffing changes before the next term.
Review approved positions, assignments, and proposed FTE changes for the next term. Workforce Budgeting adds position budgets and calculated employee costs.
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.
