Introduction

FTE Tree's primary function is to manage positions. But what is a position without an incumbent employee? Here, you can maintain basic information about an employee and compare it to the position they are assigned to. Similar to positions and other aspects of the FTE Tree, employee attributes are historical and work based on an effective start date. The attributes are applied as of the effective date.

Employee Attributes

If there are additional attributes you'd like to track for your employees, please contact us, and we'd be happy to help you set them up.

  • Employee Name: Enter the name of the employee. This value is required and does not need to be unique across your organization.

  • Employee ID: This value is required and must be unique across your organization.

  • Position: This is the position the employee is assigned to. The employee may be assigned to more than one position at a time.

  • Current Status: This value is bound to an effective date and is required. The default value of 'Active' is required and is part of the logic to determine if an employee should be actively assigned to a position. Additional options can be added through the choice settings for your organization. All choices other than 'Active' assume the employee is inactive. Please contact us for further support if you need additional configuration.

  • Base Wage Rate: Enter the base wage rate of the incumbent with an effective start date. This value is used for incumbent cost comparisons and to show the range penetration of the pay grade where appropriate. If an incumbent is assigned to a position but does not have a base wage rate, the position's wage rate will be used as a fallback for cost calculations.

Comments

The Comments tab on each employee detail page provides a place to have conversations about the employee record. You can create comments, reply to existing conversations with threaded replies, and mention other users in your organization to notify them. Mentioned users receive both an email and an in-app notification.

Commenting on employees requires the employee update permission. For more details about how comments, threaded replies, and mention notifications work, see Messages and Notifications.
