TIME ENTRY %

Formula for Time entry % is:

Sum of all time entries (including all absence entries) / Capacity

TimeLog has a day-by-day capacity table, which GoSimplo relies on 1:1 in terms of single employee capacity, In this table, capacity is automatically zero on company off days (bank holidays).

Time entries before employee start date and after end date are disregarded completely.

Absence entries made by employees does not reduce capacity.

In GoSimplo, target for Time entry % is always 100%.

BILLABLE TIME %

Formula for Billable time % is:

Billable hours / Base of all hours

Regarding "Billable hours", TimeLog supports the following options:

1. All hours on non-internal projects

2. Billable hours on non-internal projects

In the business world, there are various opinions on how to best measure Billable time % - i.e what “Base of all hours” should be. Should it express Billable time compared to total capacity? Or should it express Billable time compared to actual hours worked? For that reason, you can choose your own principle in GoSimplo – subject to what your source system supports. TimeLog supports the following options:

1. Capacity, excluding bank holidays

2. Capacity, excluding bank holidays & vacation

3. Total entered hours

4. Total entered hours, excluding vacation

5. Total entered hours, excluding vacation & other absence

See your current selection and modify here.

As TimeLog does not deliver a Billable time target, you will automatically be prompted for this target, when connecting for the first time (one common target for all employees). It is also supported to set individual targets here.

Non-billable time

All types of absence are disregarded, and the calculation of Non-billable time is hence:

All time entries to projects – Billable hours (as they are defined by the setting described above)

Absence (“All time types” widget)

Absence is equal to entries made to an absence code that is of the type “Illness”.

The presentation of absence on dashboards is dependent to the “Base of all hours” setting mentioned above. Working in this way:

1. Capacity, excluding bank holidays: Absence = All entered absence incl. vacation

2. Capacity, excluding bank holidays & vacation: Absence = All entered absence excl. vacation

3. Total entered hours: Absence = All entered absence incl. vacation

4. Total entered hours, excluding vacation: Absence = All entered absence excl. vacation

5. Total entered hours, excluding vacation & other absence: Absence will never appear in widgets
