Ratios Tab of Company Timesheet Configuration

Use the Ratios tab to select the timesheet ratios that are available to Timesheet users for the active company. Each of the ratios compares an employee's direct (billable) hours with other types of hours, such as standard hours and benefit hours.

This information 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.

After you configure ratio options, employees can view their ratios by selecting Show > Ratios from the Timesheet toolbar.

Standard hours for ratio calculations are based on the non-working days and holiday settings that you define in Configuration > General > Holiday. These settings also determine how Vision calculates standard hours on the Time Analysis report.
