REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That Council receive the FTE Analysis Report as supplemental information to the 2011 Draft Budget
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Conseil
municipal prenne connaissance du Rapport d'analyse des ETP à titre de
renseignements supplémentaires aux prévisions budgétaires.
BACKGROUND
The FTE Analysis document is designed to assist senior management and Council in planning and decision-making by providing information on how human resources are being utilized and by showing human resource historic trends over time. It provides a detailed analysis of where full-time equivalent positions (FTEs) are located in the organization and what types of positions support the City’s programs and services. This increases the City’s transparency and accountability to Council and the public.
DISCUSSION
FTEs are used for budget purposes to quantify the number of FTE positions approved by Council. One FTE may equal the following hours per year 1,820 (35hours/week), 1,950 (37.5 hours/week), 2,080 (40 hours/week) or 2184 (42 hours/week) depending on the collective agreement associated with the work. The FTE count is used to quantify annualized hours for positions to provide for a standard, universally accepted means of comparability and is the accepted basis for comparison with other organizations and municipalities.
Positions are created from FTEs based on operational requirements to deliver services. Positions are categorized as full-time, part-time, salary, wage, casual and student and are based on the type of staff required to the work. (i.e., lifeguard positions)
Headcount is defined as the number of employees in the organization. Headcount is distinct from the FTE count. One FTE can be comprised of several positions and the positions can have multiple employees. Therefore, there are more positions in the organization than FTEs and more employees than positions.
CONSULTATION
Consultation was not required.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no direct financial implications associated with this recommendation.
