Understanding Labor Budget

The labor budget is set annually by CFO and his team based on the

center’s previous financial fiscal success as well as current trends and/or

developments.

Depending on the size of the school and it’s capacity for students, the

revenue target will vary from school to school. As a result the labor

budget will vary as well.

The labor budget for managers is separate from Program Staff labor

budget

Budget Target

Identifying Labor hours per classroom based on FTE

Accurate input in Children OnCare Files Each “active” child must have an enrollment date, a date of birth, a Primary

Classroom and a Program Assigned. * To verify classrooms and programs run a Data Download report *

Functions > Data Download > Child Basic > Active. Then select the following from the Data Fields Box by double clicking on First Name, Last Name, Age, Enrollment Date, Primary classroom and Program to send it to the Fields to Download box. Finally click “download”.

The FTE (full time equivalence) is calculated based on the selected Schedule * assigned. (Migration and Irregular Schedules should not be used).

Create/edit schedules in OnCare. * Full Time schedules should have a total of 10 hours per day and Half day should have 6 hours. Exceptions may apply to morning preschool and after school programs.

To verify every active child has a schedule assigned simply run a Roll Call Report * and look for any “blanks” or discrepancies.

Children with an Incoming or Waitlist status must have an anticipated enrollment date. DO NOT assign a schedule
