4. Enter Staffing Details
First, enter any staff that do not use Visit Tracker but need to be assigned to a position in the bottom table.
- This only needs to be those individuals that do not have a Visit Tracker login but need to be assigned to a position in the Staffing Details section
- Individuals that have a Visit Tracker login for this account can be selected when assigning individuals to positions. You do not need to add them in this section.
- COORDINATED INTAKE - If you have a home visiting account and have enabled Coordinated Intake, you would need to add all CI Supervisors and CI Workers to this table.
Next, add Staffing Details
Create positions and assign staff for each position type in your budget.
When creating a new position:
- Use STATUS to indicate whether the position is FILLED, VACANT or ELIMINATED
- FILLED - will allow you to select a person by opening the ASSIGNED TO field
- VACANT - you will only select a START DATE and FTE. The ASSIGNED TO field will not show
- ELIMINATED - only available once a position has been created. Only the START DATE will be entered.
- START DATE - enter the date the new STATUS starts.
- For VACANT statuses, START DATE is the day after the most recent EXIT DATE.
Updating Positions
When updating positions, you first select the reason for the update. The reasons available and fields that will show once a reason is selected are dependent on the positions current status.
Update reasons
- Reassign position
- Position is vacant
- Position is eliminated
- Edit latest entry
