EES or not?

Microsoft just sent me this:

 

Hi Mark,

 

Thank you for contacting us.

 

With regards to your query, I can confirm that your FTE count is made up of Faulty and Staff members where:

 

Faculty are any employees, contractors and volunteers who teach or perform research for the intuition for more than 200hrs per annum and

Staff are non-faculty employees, contractors and volunteers who perform work for the instruction for more than 200hrs per annum and use an institution qualified desktop.

 

As per the attached Microsoft EES Guide employees such as maintenance, grounds keeping, and cafeteria staff may be excluded from the faculty/staff FTE employee count if they do not use institutional devices.

 

In summary, for your school it will be as follows:

 

Teachers – I will include all teaching staff - YES

 

Admin – I will include all admin staff - YES

 

Cleaners – cleaners work more than 200 hours per year but don’t have access to any PCs and never use then – do I need to include them? - NO

 

Kitchen – kitchen assistants work more than 200 hours per year but don’t have access to any PCs and never use then – do I need to include them? - NO

 

Cook – I will include the cook as she has access to a PC and her own staff username/log on. - YES

 

Midday Assistants – some midday assistants work more than 200 hours per year but none of them have access to any PCs and never use then – do I need to include them? - NO

 

Teaching Assistants – Teaching assistants work more than 200 hours per year but don’t have their own PC/Laptop or staff user name/log on – they just help the pupils using the computers – do I need to include them? - NO

 

Hope this information is of help to you.

What about catering/kitchen staff who use touch screen tills (XP with an exe loaded)? These machines were given to us under a contract to provide cashless catering. They came preloaded with all the software and the OS.

Are the staff then considered as "users of institution qualified desktop"?

Cashless catering gear doesn't need to be included.
