Adjustment to Approved Positions

The Budget for the St. Charles City-County Library District includes a list by branch/department of individual positions, their respective FTE (Full Time Equivalent), and the projected cost, as well as the total FTE and cost for each branch/department. When the Budget is approved, these positions, FTE’s and costs are also approved.

During the budget year, if there is a proposed adjustment in the FTE of an approved position or positions, approval by the Board of Trustees will be needed if:

  1. the change increases the branch/department’s total FTE for that job classification or
  2. increases the total cost for that job classification.

If there is a proposed adjustment to the FTE of an approved position, Board approval is not needed if:

  1. the adjustment does not change the total FTE for that classification or for the branch/department and
  2. the change does not increase the cost for that job classification in the branch/department.

When an adjustment is the FTE of a position is proposed, the Branch/Department Manager will notify the Human Resources Coordinator by submitting a Position Request Form and attaching a justification for the adjustment. The Human Resources Coordinator will track total FTE for each job classification in a branch/department and will notify the Director and the Board of Trustees of any increases in the total FTE and/or total cost for a branch/department.

This policy does not apply to decreases in FTE and costs for a job classification, unless that decrease will substantially impair the quality of service provided.

Temporary or substitute staff needed for approved positions are provided for under Policy #E552, Staff Substitution.
