B. Incentive for Eliminating Positions (Section 216.262(1)(c), F.S.)

This part of the plan and budget amendment is a request to redirect savings from eliminated positions to employees that are willingly taking on additional duties and responsibilities that need to be absorbed from the reduced workforce.

The following summary presents information on the agency's efforts in eliminating positions. The chart identifies the program area or division offering up the positions; the reason behind the reductions (flatten of management structure, function outsourced, increased efficiencies through consolidation, etc.); the number of FTE eliminated and the amount of the savings realized that can be redirected to high performing employees in the form of recurring salary increases. Should the 20% salary savings be granted for retention, the redirected savings will provide an incentive to the employee(s) listed in Appendix A to continue to find new and innovative ways to get the job done efficiently and effectively and ensure that service delivery will not be adversely impacted.
