Overview

This report shows computed non-overtime hourly employee costs per activity over a specified time window. Cost is only computed for the portion of actual activities that actually intersects the specified time window.

This is different from other reports that might count all activities that start within the specified time window.

Activity Cost (Unburdened)

Management can use this report to review the amount of time that specific employees spend in each activity, including paid, unpaid, and total time, summarized over the selected period of time. Managers can run this report for a week or a month to see how each employee is being utilized over that time period, and determine whether particular employees are spending too much time in breaks, after-call work, or other activities, or if they are not spending enough time on the phones. If employee wage information is entered, the activity subtotals on the report can also be used to estimate the cost of specific activities.
