Viewing Budget Variance report

Managers can view the budget variance report and submit requests to make budget changes if the position plan is active.

See Requesting a new budget.

  1. Select Hiring.
  2. Click the Positions and Budgets tab.
  3. In the Position Monitoring pane, click Position Budget Variance.
  4. Select a position plan.
    The budget variance reports for each position plan are displayed. If a manager clicks the links in the budget variance report, they can only see their direct reports.

    If you enable the position plan for budget by FTE, budget by Headcount, and budget by Salary, these tabs are also displayed.

  5. Select the applicable tab.

    The budget variance report consists of these information:

    • The Budget field displays the current budget amount.
    • The Current Staff field displays the number of people currently in the position plan.
    • The Pending Requests field displays the number of people who are requested for hire or for transfer for the position.
    • The Future Commitments field displays the number of people who are hired or transferred to the position, but their start date is a date in the future.
    • The Variance field displays the number of people who are under- or over-staffed, which consists of (Budgeted) - (Pending Requests + Future Commitments + Requisitions + Applications).
    If Talent Acquisition is enabled in an active position plan, the Requisitions and Acquisitions columns are displayed between Future Commitments and Variance.
