Decisions in practice
Decide whether to fill a vacancy or add a position.
Review approved capacity, current assignments, and the requested change for the same department and date.
Staffing example
Today: A clinic has 10.0 approved FTEs and 8.4 assigned FTEs. With no position overassigned, that leaves 1.6 vacant FTEs.
Proposed change: Add a position with 1.0 approved FTE, bringing the clinic's total to 11.0 FTEs after approval.
After approval: If assignments stay the same, vacant capacity rises to 2.6 FTEs. Review the budget effect before deciding whether to add a position or fill an existing vacancy.
