So thank you very much for your table, I value a clear strategy very much. Staffing Plan: Workload, FTE, & Cost Calculation Workbook Guide This staffing plan template calculates workload, FTE (full time equivalent) requirements, and process activity costs. Where will remain human supporting effort and where human effort may disappear. So my role is not about convincing business on RPA, but more to demonstrate with such tables as yours, what is feasible and what isn’t. If an employer has a 40-hour workweek, a worker scheduled for 40 hours per week is 1.0 FTE. Hours paid in given pay period / working hours in that period FTE. They think it is a magic tool that can handle everything. The calculation of FTE is an employee’s hours divided by the employer’s number of hours considered a full-time workweek.

In my business environment the idea of RPA is pushed by the owners, so business is requesting the craziest implementations without any knowledge of RPA technology, business is pushing for solutions everywhere. And I can define on my own what to look into before engaging RPA development. Employers Resource would like to enroll one of our Human Resource Specialists to help you down this path. If your business meets the pay or play penalty then you will want to plan a way to provide benefits to your employees. How a whole list of application crashes under automation, etc. The FTE Calculator was designed to help determine if your company falls under the 50+ employer. Looking at the glass half full: this is actually a great situation, because I have concrete examples what not to do in the future.

My story is that Business made their own RPA project without IT in the project (the biggest failure was not to consult application experts on putting automation on top of their applications which are not meant for RPA, business didn’t know the already very high degree of automation in their processes).Īfter this failed project (packaged as a success story with lessons learned) IT (personally me) got the project shifted on the lap to deal with it, make it work. I am collecting information to define our standards when evaluating business requests.
