Reduction Percentage

Resource planning takes into account that you cannot plan an employee’s total fixed number of hours.

It is often not possible or advantageous to plan hours since an employee often has to take on urgent matters, attend weekly recurring meetings, other appointments, and so on.

Therefore, it is possible to define a reduction percentage of the fixed number of hours for each employee revision in the window Employees in the Set-Up module. This reduction percentage indicates the number of hours for which the employee in question is not available, to give a time margin for urgent matters and the like. See “Planning Time” for more information on planning time and reduction percentages.
