Specific Options for Reducing Staffing Costs

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

Geiner  7      $370.72 
Jhasen 10      $529.60

Laurel     2 weeks in Ap/May
Liane      1 month (June)  =  1584
Martin     1  month        =  1584

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

Possible Scenarios

Let's take a look at these...
