The workforce analyst at Harbor Motion Manufacturing must reconcile the September-to-November staffing story. A person transferred departments, another left, a part-time employee joined, and a future hire starts on November 1. Produce dated employee counts and October FTE, then provide the checked November 1 headcount. Exclude contingent workers from this metric.
A headcount movement can combine several events that affect different measures. A transfer changes departmental distribution without creating a new person. A termination removes a person from later active headcount. A part-time schedule changes FTE differently from people count, and a future hire belongs only after the effective start date.
You'll inspect September, October and the first day of November using the same employee history. Use the Employee population so contingent workers don't enter this particular metric. The final checked answer is November 1 headcount. The earlier FTE and departmental checks provide the explanation, rather than treating every change as a hire or assuming one row always means one person.
