Show subtotals pages only

Every staff member that satisfies the Selection criteria will be included in the report. The information will be subtotalled by the first sort criteria selected under the Within client sort WIP items tab. For example, to display performance summary by partner select this option, and within the order tab select Partner and subtotal by partner.

Calculation of performance percentages

The detailed staff performance report displays percentages on staff performance.

The following options are available:

Value of chargeable time divided by value of 'total' time - using this formula staff percentages are calculated as follows:


Value of chargeable time  X 100

Value of total time


For example, in September a staff member has £1000 of chargeable WIP on clients and £300 on administrative work. Using the formula above this would show that 77% of the staff members chargeable value was spent on clients.

Chargeable hours divided by total hours - using this formula staff percentages are calculated as follows:

 

Chargeable hours (hh mm) X 100

Total hours (hh mm)

 

For example,  a staff member spent 100hrs on clients in September and 100 hrs on admin. The staff performance report would show that 91% of time was spent on clients.

Chargeable WIP (including expenses) divided by total WIP - using this formula staff percentages are calculated as follows:

 

Chargeable WIP (including expenses) X 100

Total WIP

 

For example, a staff member spent £1300 of chargeable time and expenses on a client, and £200 away from the client. The staff performance report would show that 87% of chargeable WIP was spent on clients.
