This is part of the Reduction Committee Tasks.
As we review everything, we need to spell out what specific measures we could take. We'll need to estimate the financial costs and savings of each, the other costs (staffing shortages, impact on programs, etc.), and the problems associated with each option.
Target #1 = $2,700.
Target #2 = $5,400 (including target #1).
Across the board wage cut
A 5% wage cut would save us $1,162.58. We spend $23,250 / month on non health care benefits.
Voluntary hours cuts
Monthly cost of collective member/hour/week = $52.96
The following people have offered voluntary hours cuts:
Dave 1.75 $92.68 Geiner 7 $370.72 Jhasen 10 $529.60 Jon 12 $635.52 Laurel 4.5 $238.32 Liane 4 $211.84 Martin 10 $529.60 Michael 5 $264.80 Rick 6 $317.76 Shawn 8 $423.68 SUBTOT 68.25 $3,614.52 Matthew 5 $175.00 TOTAL $3,792.00
Voluntary unpaid leaves of absence
The following people have offered voluntary leaves of absence:
Jhasen 1 month (May) = $1,584 Laurel 1 week in March = 264 Laurel 2 weex Apr/May = 528 Liane 1 month (June) = 1,584 Martin 1 month = 1,584 TOTAL $5,544
Job performance based cuts
- 32 hour collective member with health care = $1867
- 32 hour collective member without health care = $1584
- 20 hour collective member with health care = $1339
- 20 hour collective member without health care = $1056
- 20 hour/week intern = $700
Program and job function based cuts
Potential Recommendations
- 5% pay cut
- $1,162.58 per month savings effective March 1 (retroactive)
- Unpaid leave for Laurel and Nathan in March (during vacation)
- $608 for the month of March only
- Marlin layed off
- $1,056.00 per month savings which don't kick in until vacation pay is paid off (June or so)
- Other staggered voluntary leaves of absences
- $800.00 Laurel in April
- $1,584.00 Jhasen in May
- $1,584.00 Liane in June
- Voluntary hours reductions already scheduled
- $402.00 Rick dropping to 20 hours May and beyond
- Geiner leaving
- $1,056.00 per month when it starts, assuming we add 12 hours to Michael's schedule and get him to split time between printers and tech support
Month by month this breaks down like:
| March | $1,770.58 |
| April | $1,962.58 |
| May | $4,204.58 |
| June | $5,260.58 |
| July | $3,676.58 |
| August | $3,676.58 |
| 6 MONTH TOTAL: | $20,551.48 |
| MONTHLY AVERAGE: | $3,425.25 |
This leaves us around $2,300 short of the round 2 target. To make this up in hours reduction, we'd need to cut an additional 46 hours from the schedule which would mean another layoff and hours reduction for remaining collective members. Since covering all available shifts will already be strained, this would mean cutting back programs of some sort. We're not offering recommendations for this extra $2,300 -- just the options.
Weaknesses of these recommendations
- Cuts don't kick in fast enough
- March and April don't meet the $2,700 round 1 target. It is not until May that we see the full savings. This could change significantly if Geiner leaves earlier than expected. (If Rick cuts his hours in April -- rather than May as assumed -- we could be near the $2,700 target in April, but we'd still be around $450 short.)
- Some cuts are based on temporary measures.
- The average cut is $3,425.25, but $762.67 of that comes from voluntary leaves, which are temporary by nature. If income is flat, that would leave us short in the long run.
- There's a lot of work to be covered by less people.
- With Geiner gone, Rick's hours reduced, and Marlin laid off, we've cut 48 hours from the weekly schedule that will need to be picked up by other staff. We will need to try to make things more efficient, recruit volunteers to do more work, etc. to counteract this.
Voluntary Leaves of Absence Scenarios
Jhasen takes off May
- Savings $1,584 (one time)
- Shuffling people around
- Oso, Liane, Shawn, Laurel, and Richard could all cover (some need training)
- Matthew (would require Front Desk coverage)
- Jon (receiving)
- Nathan (Black Hole)
Liane takes off June
- Savings $1,584 (one time)
- Shuffling people around
- Computers for Kids on hold
- BBBees and PB/BBBB needs coverage
Martin takes off one month
- Savings $1,450 (one time)
- Shuffling people around
- Oso or Liane could cover
- Matthew could cover (Reception affected)
- Nathan (Black Hole)
Laurel takes some time in April
- Savings $800 (one time)
- Shuffling people around
- Adoption classes, LPI exams
- Potential education income stream might get postponed
Voluntary Hours Reduction Scenarios
Jhasen goes to 22 hours
- Savings $503 / month
- Shuffling people around
- (see above)
Jon goes to 20 hours
- Savings $604
- Shuffling people around
- BBBees coverage needed
- Forklift operation (Jhasen and maybe Oso)
Martin goes to 20 hours
- Savings $453 / month
- Shuffling people around
- (see above)
Rick goes to 20 hours
- Savings $402
- Shuffling people around
- Dave, Martin, Richard
- Oso, Liane, Shawn, Michael, Nathan
Shawn goes to 24 hours
- Savings $402
- Shuffling people around
- PB/BBBB and Reception
- Event coordination and volunteer outreach would suffer
Many people take off 3-4 hours
- Savings $151-201 per person
- $1,208-$1,610
- People affected: Liane, Laurel, Michael, Jhasen, Jon, Martin, Rick, Shawn
- Shuffling people around
- (too complex to detail)
