How Resource Management Calculates Hours and Days

When you conduct Resource Utilization or Generic Resource Assignment searches, Vision uses various calculations to determine the working and non-working hours for employees.

The number of working hours per day that Resource Management uses for a given employee is calculated by looking at both the working hours/day setting for the employee and the resource assignment data from the plan.

To change an employee's working hours/day setting, change the entry in the Hours/Day field on the Personal Tab of the Employee Info Center. Changing the Hours/Day also impacts Timesheets, Adjust Salary Job Costs, and Time Analysis.

For example, if you assign a resource to work on a task for 20 hours for the week:

• If the resource works 8 hours/day, the utilization for the week is 50%.

• If the resource works 4 hours/day, the utilization for the week is 100%.

To determine which days are non-working days — for both resource utilization and employee schedules — Vision checks two settings in Holiday Configuration:

• Non-working days (defaults are Saturday and Sunday)

• Holiday dates
