Designed for the work behind the plan.

A forecast should show both staffing capacity and cost impact. FTE Tree helps teams review FTE, wage, department, job-code, adjustment, and budget changes across reporting periods before they become part of the approved plan.

  1. 1

    Start from approved position data and the Operating Budget.

  2. 2

    Prepare proposed changes for new positions, reductions, restructuring, or wage assumptions.

  3. 3

    Review FTE, headcount, annualized cost, pending request impact, and budget impact.

  4. 4

    Run and share reports once the plan is ready for review.
