Institutional Facility Staff Projection cont. Full-time Equivalent (FTE) • Example One: If a work year is defined as 2080 hours then one staff member that is employed full time for entire year then that staff member is considered to be FTE = 1.0. Two employees working 1040 hours each, FTE = 0.5 x 2 = 1.0. • Example Two: 2 full-time staff (1.0 + 1.0= 2.0) and 3 part-time staff (1 at 75%, 1 at 50% and 1 at 10%). FTE would equal 2.0 + 0.75 + 0.50 + 0.10 or 3.35 FTE.
Institutional Facility Staff Projectioncont. • ***At Bottom of the Sheet Please Explain the Following: -How Institutional Facility Staff time is allocated to this facility Example1: ○ A time study was performed on all direct care staff which determined XX% percentage of their time was allocated to direct care job functions and XX% of their time was allocated to support staff job functions.

Institutional Facility Staff Projection cont. ***At Bottom of the Sheet Please Explain the Following: - Any changes in staff counts (FTE) from year to year. - Any changes in staff salaries from year to year. - How Title IV-E allowable amounts were developed. Example: ○ Managers/Supervisors spend 80% of their time overseeing the Direct Care Staff whose only responsibility is supervising and monitoring children.

Therefore our agency determined Managers/Supervisors salaries to be 80% Title IV-E allowable.
