Staffing plan
Position registerThe positions you intend to have, and by when. It names nobody.
Positions, not people
The distinction is the whole design. A plan naming individuals becomes a document about those individuals — one that circulates, gets read by people it was not written for, and is wrong within a month.
No money either
No salary, pay band, budget or cost. What a role pays belongs in payroll, and a band on a circulated plan is a disclosure nobody intended.
Around it
The request to fill one position is the requisition tracker. Cover for roles you already have is the succession matrix, and referrals are the referral log.
A plan of positions. It names no employee or candidate, holds no person-level data, and carries no salary, pay band, budget or cost. Everything runs on your device.
Questions people ask
- Can I put people's names against the positions?
- No — there is no owner or party field on this register, deliberately. A staffing plan answers what roles are needed and by when, and that question needs nobody's name. Who covers a role today is the succession matrix.
- Where is the salary or pay band?
- There is none. A band against a planned position is a compensation record one step removed, and compensation belongs in payroll rather than in a plan somebody circulates.
- How does it differ from the requisition tracker?
- The requisition tracker is the request to fill one position and its approval. This is the plan across the organization — what you intend to have, and when.
- What does the headcount column mean?
- How many of that position you plan to have. It is a count of roles, not of people, and nothing is worked out from it.
