PowerPCS Features

Everything in one place.
Nothing you don't need.

All features are included in every plan. No add-ons, no feature gating, no surprises.

Core

Position Management

Every authorized position in your organization gets its own record — independent of the people who fill it. Define its classification, budget target, organizational placement, and effective dates.

Positions persist through turnover. When an incumbent leaves, the position goes vacant. When a new incumbent is assigned, it goes filled. The position itself never disappears.

  • Job title, classification code, and position number
  • Status auto-calculated: filled, vacant, or overfilled
  • Up to five configurable org levels
  • Budgeted FTE and salary targets per position
  • Active/inactive position tracking
  • CSV import for bulk loading existing position data

Incumbent Tracking

Assign employees to positions with FTE amounts, effective start and end dates, compensation data, and pay rate type. The system tracks the full history of who held every position and for how long.

One employee can hold multiple positions simultaneously. One position can have multiple incumbents — as long as their combined FTE doesn't exceed the authorized amount.

  • Name, employee ID, and hire date
  • FTE allocation per position assignment
  • Effective start and end dates
  • Hourly, salary, and daily pay rate types
  • Annualized budget cost auto-calculated
  • Full history retained — nothing is ever erased

Analysis

FTE & Budget Analysis

See the financial picture of your authorized positions alongside incumbent actuals. Track budgeted salary vs. actual incumbent cost, FTE allocations vs. authorized FTE, and identify gaps and overages at any level of the org.

  • Budgeted annual cost calculated from pay rate and FTE
  • Budgeted vs. actual FTE comparison
  • Vacancy cost — what unfilled positions cost in lost productivity
  • Overage identification — combined incumbent FTE > authorized
  • Roll up by org level (department, division, etc.)

Structure

Configurable Org Hierarchy

Map your organization across up to five levels. Label them whatever your organization uses — Division, Department, Unit, Cost Center, Program, Grant Fund, School Site, or anything else.

Positions are slotted into the hierarchy. Reports, filters, and budget rollups all follow the same structure.

  • Up to 5 configurable org levels
  • Custom label names per level
  • Filter any report or list by org level
  • Budget rollup follows hierarchy
  • Reports-to relationship tracking between positions

Compliance

Full Audit History

Every change to every position and incumbent is recorded permanently: what changed, what it changed from and to, who made the change, and when. Nothing is ever quietly overwritten.

When your auditor, board, or Finance asks what the headcount looked like 18 months ago — you have the answer.

  • Change log on every position and incumbent record
  • Before/after values for every field
  • User and timestamp on every entry
  • Reason codes for incumbent changes
  • Permanent — no cleanup or expiration
