Why position control breaks down

Staffing plans drift when every team keeps its own version.

HR knows the employee record. Finance owns the budget. Managers understand the work that needs to be covered. When those views live in separate spreadsheets and systems, vacancies get missed, costs are hard to explain, budget impact is difficult to forecast, and approvals happen after the plan has already changed.

FTE Tree makes the position the shared unit of record, so the funded role, assigned employee, department, cost, approval status, assignment state, and reporting impact stay connected.

Department structure

Model reporting lines, job-code availability, permissions, and approval assignments from the same department tree.

Effective-dated history

Understand what changed, when it applies, who approved it, and how it affects the workforce plan.

Budget comparison

Compare pending request impact and period reports against the Operating Budget before committing staffing changes.

Report-ready data

Run position, vacancy, approval, employee, assignment, cost, and GL-ready reports.

Shared by design

A workforce plan each team can actually use.

FTE Tree connects the operational, financial, and approval work around every position without forcing teams back into disconnected files.

HR teams

Keep positions, employees, vacancies, effective-dated changes, and audit history in a single position control workflow.

Finance teams

Explain FTE, annualized position cost, incumbent cost, adjustments, budget forecasts, and GL-ready exports from the same data.

Department leaders

Review staffing, submit requests, track approval status, and understand staffing impact with department-scoped access.

Product workflow

From funded position to approved plan.

FTE Tree keeps the full planning cycle connected, so teams can move from position setup to cost modeling, budget review, approval, assignment tracking, and reporting without rebuilding the same data.

Pricing

Pricing that scales with positions, not seats.

Position control works best when the people closest to the work can participate. FTE Tree's pricing model is based on the number of positions you manage, so HR, finance, managers, and approvers can collaborate without every new user changing the budget conversation.
