Planning Time

The planning time covers the number of hours for which a given employee is at disposal and available for the resource planning.

The planning time of a given date can be defined as the difference between the reduction percentage and the employee’s fixed number of hours on that date. The employee’s fixed number of hours on a given date is found in the employee revision applying on the date in question. For further information about employee revisions, see “Date-Dependent Employee Revisions” introduction to the window Employees.

If the reduction is, say, 25% and the fixed number of working hours in a given week is 40 hours, the planning time for this week will be 40: (25% of 40) = 40: 10 = 30 hours. If a detailed plan is made for this employee in this week, and 35 hours are planned for this employee, it will be considered as if the employee will have 5 hours of overtime, compared to the 30 hours from the above calculation.
