Financial annualizing staffing

LP 4 Annualizing Staffing

The Metropolis Health System managers are working on their budgets for next year. Each

manager must annualize his or her staffing plan, and thus must convert staff net paid days

worked to a factor.

The Emergency Room is fully staffed seven days per week and the employees have 8 holidays, 5

sick days, 10 vacation days, and 5 education days each year. The Outpatient lab is only open 5

days per week and those employees have 8 holidays, 0 education days, 3 personal leave days and

5 sick days per year.

Net Paid Days worked 232 244

Step 2. Convert net paid days worked to a factor.

For the Emergency Room

Total days in business year divided by net paid days worked (Total business days/net paid days =

factor)

364/232= 1.569 FTE

For Out Patient Clinic

Total days in business year divided by net paid days worked (business days/net paid days =

factor)

364/244= 1.492 FTE
