HCM | Working patterns | Calculated FTE

Introduction

Currently the position FTE is a numeric editable field that should be entered manually.
The implementation of the current user story will allow the FTE to be automatically calculated based on the work schedule rule and the actual position working hours defined by the working pattern.

Functionality

This functionality is handled via feature management (evergreen HR) Calculation position FTE

FTE field non-editable

If the working patterns feature is enabled, FTE field won’t be editable.

FTE should be made non-editable in the following screens:

Position details screen
Position Action screen
Position manage changes screen

FTE calculation

The Full-time equivalent will be calculated as

Actual week work hours = “Hours per week” calculated field in the “Working patterns” table
Work schedule rule hours = “Work schedule rule” in the “Payroll” table

“Working patterns” and “Payroll” are tables that are linked to the position but have their own date effectivities which in most occasions will not coincide with the position date effective values. Creation, updates and deletion of records in these 2 tables will have an impact on the calculation of the FTE.

The working time templates are involved in the calculation of the FTE when assigned to a working pattern. Given that the FTE will be calculated on the basis of the weekly working hours in templates, once a template has been used on a working pattern changes to the template hours should not be allowed.

This functionality is controlled by the “(evergreen HR) Calculated FTE” feature.

When a working time template has been used on a working pattern, it won’t be possible to modify the working hours for the template. That means the following buttons and fields should be disabled or made read-only these buttons and fields are disabled or made read-only for all sections (Monday..Sunday).
