Workforce Planning
People are most of the cost base, so the budget is mostly a workforce plan — built on seats rather than names, because a plan on names cannot hold a vacancy.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Workforce Cost Plans | List | People are between forty and seventy per cent of the cost base, so the budget is mostly a workforce plan whether anybody calls it one or not. | 13 | 15 | 2 |
| Planned Positions | List | A line is a POSITION rather than a person, because a plan built on named people cannot represent a vacancy — and a vacancy is the largest single source of variance in a personnel budget. | 15 | 31 | 0 |
| Workforce by Period | Read-only list | The plan phased into months, which is what a budget actually needs — the annual number is the sum and the monthly profile is what is compared with payroll. | 9 | 0 | 0 |
