Create FTE Dimensions

Create FTE Dimensions

Security:
Set Up: Staffing
 in the Staffing functional area.
Define ranges for full-time equivalent (FTE) and blended FTE for a worker or a worker's position. The FTE dimension value will be a range within which the worker's actual FTE falls; for example, an FTE of 75% would fall in the dimension range of 75% to 100%.
FTE dimensions are available for benefit and absence rules, as well as drill-down dimensions in custom reporting. They are required if you want to use FTE for two types of account posting rules:
  • Payroll Expense
  • Fringe Benefit Expense
Most business policies use only one FTE dimension type. However, you can use both blended and standard FTE dimensions in matrix reports and in eligibility, calculation, and posting rule definitions.
  1. Access the
    Maintain FTE Dimensions
     task.
  2. Select an
    FTE Dimension Type
    :
    Option Description
    FTE Dimension - Blended FTE on Position
    Calculates FTE based on the weekly FTE for the position divided by the percent of year worked in the position.
    FTE Dimension - On Position
    Calculates FTE based on weekly hours worked in the position divided by the weekly hours for the position.
    FTE Dimension - Total Blended FTE on Worker
    Calculates FTE based on the weekly FTE divided by the percent of year worked by the worker.
    FTE Dimension - Total FTE on Worker
    Calculates FTE based on weekly hours worked divided by the weekly hours for the position by the worker.
  3. Specify a minimum and maximum percent range for one or more
    FTE Dimensions
    .
    Workday derives entries in the
    FTE Dimension
     field based on the values you specify in the
    FTE Minimum
     and
    FTE Maximum
     fields.
    For example, if you select
    Total Blended FTE on Worker
     as the
    FTE Dimension Type
     and enter 0 for
    FTE Minimum
     and 49 for
    FTE Maximum
    , the
    FTE Dimension
     field displays
    Total Blended FTE on Worker: 0% - 49 %
    .
    Both worker dimension types total across all of a worker's positions. If you don't have multiple positions, Workday reflects the primary job's FTE or blended FTE. The blended FTE equals the weekly FTE if you don't use academic pay.
