Sorry, list - forgot to ID myself (sorry for the repost) << Has anyone out there really worked through the complete PTG guidelines formula? Willing to post your numbers? Anyone interested in doing the formula to see if we can get some solid information? -Ed Sutton- Northeast Louisiana University m >> Ed, I am particularly interested in this. How many of us out there have used the workload formula in the GUIDELINES - actually crunched the numbers? And have you found that information useful in proposals to the school for upgrades, etc? I would like to refine my question further: How many of you CONTRACT TECHS have worked the numbers in the workload formula? And do you have any recommendations which might make the GUIDELINES more useful to you - possibly a faster way of getting at similar conclusions? As Ed pointed out, it takes a considerable amount of time to crunch the numbers in the workload formula. They are the right questions to ask, and the numbers you get seem to me to be what we would most want to have - but because of the time commitment I know that some of us have just referred to the general conclusions of the GUIDELINES rather than work the number ourselves, for our own situation. I am in the process, right now, of doing reports for my two contract schools based on the workload formula. However, university contract techs like myself are even less inclined to crunch the numbers than the employed tech, I think, because their compensation is so often fee for service, and unless we actually obtain a fee for this service we might not work the numbers. In talking with fellow univ contract techs, I am impressed at the extent the workload formula gets completely ignored in the use of the GUIDELINES. I am particularly interested in whether some of you contract techs have used the workload formula, and whether you have any other recommendations which might make the GUIDELINES more accessible to the contract technician.
