PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 8.36A, Code 2001, is amended to read as 1 2 follows: 1 3 8.36A FULL-TIME EQUIVALENTPOSITIONPOSITIONS. 1 4 1. For purposes of making appropriations and financial 1 5 reports and as used in appropriations statutes, "full-time 1 6 equivalent position" means a budgeting and monitoring unit 1 7 that equates the aggregate of full-time positions, part-time 1 8 positions, a vacancy and turnover factor, and other 1 9 adjustments. One full-time equivalent position represents two 1 10 thousand eighty working hours, which is the regular number of 1 11 hours one full-time person works in one fiscal year. The 1 12 number of full-time equivalent positions shall be calculated 1 13 by totaling the regular number of hours that could be annually 1 14 worked by persons in all authorized positions, reducing those 1 15 hours by a vacancy and turnover factor and dividing that 1 16 amount by two thousand eighty hours. In order to achieve the 1 17 full-time equivalent position level, the number of filled 1 18 positions may exceed the number of full-time equivalent 1 19 positions during parts of the fiscal year to compensate for 1 20 time periods when the number of filled positions is below the 1 21 authorized number of full-time equivalent positions. 1 22 2. If a department or establishment has reached or 1 23 anticipates reaching the full-time equivalent position level 1 24 authorized for the department but determines that conversion 1 25 of a contract position to a full-time equivalent position 1 26 would result in cost savings while providing comparable or 1 27 better services, the department or establishment may request 1 28 the director of the department of management to approve the 1 29 conversion and addition of the full-time equivalent position. 1 30 The request shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating how 1 31 the cost savings and service quality will be achieved through 1 32 the conversion. If approved by the director of the department 1 33 of management, the department or establishment's authorized 1 34 full-time equivalent position level shall be increased 1 35 accordingly and the revised level shall be reported to the 2 1 fiscal committee of the legislative council. 2 2 EXPLANATION 2 3 This bill relates to the level of full-time equivalent 2 4 (FTE) positions authorized for executive branch agencies by 2 5 allowing an agency to request permission from the director of 2 6 the department of management to exceed the authorized level in 2 7 order to convert a contract position to an FTE position. 2 8 Evidence is required to show that the conversion will result 2 9 in cost savings and comparable or better services. If the 2 10 director approves, the agency's authorized level of FTE 2 11 positions is increased and the increase is reported to the 2 12 fiscal committee of the legislative council. 2 13 LSB 5567HV 79 2 14 jp/sh/8
