Updating Positions:
Positions can be updated via Martus or via Excel using the export and import process. The export and import process may be advisable if many changes need to be made.
Notes about Positions:
- Positions are specific to each Scenario, thus it is possible to have multiple scenarios per year, each with a different number of positions.
- Adjusting Positions in one Scenario does not affect any other scenario.
- Positions can represent a single employee or a pool of employees.
- Positions should only be removed from a scenario if the position will not exist in the year for which you are budgeting; it is not advisable to remove a position if it is currently vacant.
- It is best practice to have one "Vacant Position" employee set up in Martus to budget for health insurance for any open positions since coverages for health insurance are linked to the employee record.
