How this works — categories, requirements & efficiency methods

The five request categories

Immediate Need/Backfill — position not recalibrated, need as is, urgent.  Future Need or Backfill — same or current position, not immediate.  Need or Backfill Pending — undecided, potentially reduction or repurpose of current role.  Backfill with Repurpose — change title, scope, salary, etc.  No Backfill — AI efficiency realized.

Every request must include

A justification, an attached job description file, and an efficiency method — all enforced before the form will submit.

Automatic efficiency methods

Loaded-cost saved: full role eliminated → efficiency = current salary × (1 + factor).
Hours automated: hours saved/yr × loaded hourly rate (auto = loaded cost ÷ 2,080 if rate left blank).
Partial automation: % of role automated × current loaded cost.
Repurpose delta: current loaded cost − proposed loaded cost.
Custom: enter the amount manually and describe the method.

Approval — HR first, then Finance

Finance can only act after HR approves. Each decision is final: once HR or Finance has approved or rejected, that column can't be changed. Final status is automatic: Approved when both approve, Rejected if either rejects, otherwise In HR Review / With Finance. When HR edits a request, it goes back to HR review: both approvals reset to Pending and their reviewers and dates are cleared. The date submitted is set by the system when the request is submitted and never changes.
