This chapter contains these topics:

44.1 Reviewing Position Reports

To ensure that the salary amounts that you specified in your position budgets compare favorably to the actual salaries, FTEs, hours worked, and head count of the employees in those positions, you should periodically review position budget information. To make it easy to review and evaluate this information, you can print position reports. You can review this information for current, previous, or future fiscal years.

To review the most recent changes that have been made to position budgets, you can also print position reports.

To determine whether you need to hire additional employees, you can review reports that list open positions.

To limit position reports to the specific information that you need, you can display information:

  • For an entire fiscal year

  • As a comparison between two fiscal years

  • By both budgeted and projected figures through the fiscal year end

  • As the difference between projected and budgeted effective amounts

  • As a review of the current position activity to the level budgeted for the upcoming fiscal year

  • As the percentage change in each budget from one fiscal year to the next

44.2.1 What You Should Know About

Topic Description
Calculating projected amounts for a position The way in which the system calculates the projected amounts depends on the fiscal year for which you defined the position. The system uses the fiscal pattern for the company with which the position is associated when it calculates these amounts. The system:
  • Uses the beginning of the fiscal year date and end of the period 14 date for the fiscal pattern as the start and end date ranges for the position's fiscal year.

  • Includes all position activity records that overlap the ranges in the projection calculations.
