Contingent Workforce Headcount and Spend Tracker
Contingent workers sit outside the HRIS, so nobody owns the number. This tracker is the roster, the spend view, and the early-warning flags in one file.
Previews are taken from the deliverable itself.

How to use it
What this workbook does
This pack brings four workforce-planning analyses into one place. FTE and Headcount turns your annual workload into the staff it needs and the hires to close the gap. Shift Staffing turns the coverage you must deliver into the employees it takes, after time off. Overtime vs New Hire compares the cost of covering extra hours with overtime against adding a person. Labor Burden finds the fully loaded cost of a role, not just the wage. The
Your first 15 minutesOpen the Workforce Planning Pack workbook in Microsoft Excel or a free equivalent such as LibreOffice. The first tab, Start Here, walks you through every tab. Start on the FTE and Headcount tab: enter your workload assumptions in the amber cells and read the staffing number it returns. The Summary tab collects the signals into one view as you work through the pack.
