Timesheet Ratios
Timesheet ratios compare an employee's direct (billable) hours with some variation of totals hours, which allows you to review an employee's utilization within a specific timeframe.
Standard hours for ratio calculations are based on the following:
- The non-working days and holiday settings that you define in .
- An employee's expected work hours per day that are entered in the Hours/Day field on the Employment Details tab in the Employee hub.
Timesheet ratios are displayed as percentages.
Ratios can help employees determine the following:
- What percentage of their time is billable time.
- What percentage is not billable.
- How these percentages compare to planned targets for billable hours.
In , a system administrator selects whether or not the timesheet ratios can be viewed by employees when they enter their timesheets.
Possible ratios to display are:
- Direct / Total (also known as gross chargeable ratio)
- Direct / (Total – Absence) (also known as the net chargeable ratio)
- Direct / Standard
- Direct / (Standard – Absence)
- Target (the expected percentage of direct (billable) hours for an employee)
You also choose whether to display totals for each of the ratios for the current timesheet period, month-to-date, quarter-to-date, and year-to-date.
If you use multiple companies, you complete the timesheet ratio settings on the Ratios form in Time Settings for each company in your enterprise.
Employees view their ratios from a timesheet by clicking their name at the top of the Timesheets form. This opens the Employee Card, from which they can view their ratios on the Ratios form.
