Monitoring position budget variances

Use this procedure to check which budget is under or overstaffed.

  1. Select Position Budget Manager > Reports > Budget Variance.
  2. Select the position plan to monitor.

    By default, the list of budgets for the position plan displays with the FTE counts. A tab exists for each of the counts that are included in the position plan (FTE, Headcount, Salary).

  3. Click the tab to see variance information.

    For each budget this information is displayed:

    Budget

    The budgeted count. For example, 20 FTE.

    Current Staff

    The current staff count for this budget.

    Pending Requests

    Pending hire, rehire, or transfer requests for the budget. These transactions are in process.

    Future Commitments

    Future staff count committed to the budget. These are future transactions that are completed.

    Requisitions

    If the position plan includes requisitions, this is the number of requisitions for the budget.

    Applications

    If the position plan includes job applications, this is the number of job applications for the budget.

    Variance

    (Budgeted) - (Pending Requests + Future Commitments + Requisitions + Applications).
