Wikimedia Ukraine/Staffing plan 2020
The Wikimedia Ukraine staffing plan for 2020 is largely similar to the 2019 one, with refocusing of one Project Manager positions (the 0.75 FTE one) on Communications. Our overall staffing remains unchanged at 3.5 FTE. The distribution of their hours dedicated to different projects and administrative tasks is in a separate tab of the Budget for 2020 (Wikimedia Ukraine 2020 budget and staffing breakdown).
We intend to reallocate international Wiki Loves Earth management from a project manager to a separate contractor who will be working exclusively on this project. This will avoid having a 'bottleneck' situation when Wikimedia Ukraine has reduced capacity for national projects during the WLE period and will enable us to have a decent allocation of resources to the international WLE.
Our plan for 2020 includes revaluing staff salaries by 15%, due to inflation in USD equivalent reducing staff's purchasing capacity at current pay rates, and as in most cases they were not revalued since hiring.
