TIME ENTRY %

Formula for Time entry % is:

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

Tripletex defines an hourly capacity per day per employee ("Normaltid"). GoSimplo uses this in all capacity calculations.

IF a start and/or end date has been set on employee (highly recommended), GoSimplo will only count capacity from and to these dates. Also, in all Staff statistics, time entries before employee start date and after end date are disregarded completely.

In GoSimplo capacity is set to zero on company off days (bank holidays) - based on "Fridager" in Tripletex.

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

Billable hours are all hours on billable activities on external 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. Tripletex supports the following options:

Base of all hours:

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 Tripletex 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

Non-billable is the remaining time that is not either Billable time or Absence. In other words, it is hours on:

  1. Non-billable activities on external projects

  2. "Internaktiviteter" that are not defined as absence in GoSimplo setup

Absence (“All time types” widget)

"Vacation" and "Other absence" is equal to time entries made to Activities defined as such in GoSimplo setup. Click here to see and modify setup (click the cog wheel below Tripletex logo).

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
