The Timesheet-On-Tiime-Performance graph compares your timesheet submission dates with the average for your group. A timesheet submitted on time (often the following Monday) scores 100%. Each day late decreases your percentage score, up to a maximum allowed lateness after which it is considered late and scores negative. For example, if the timesheet is due the following Monday and after the Monday following that is considered late, then the following scores would apply. Timesheet submitted on Monday or before: 100% Timesheet submitted on Tuesday: 6x 100% / 7 = 86% Wednesday: 5 x 100% / 7 = 71.4% Week on Monday: 1 x 100% / 7 = 14.2% After a week on Monday the timesheet is considered late and allocated a negative score of: -20% |
|
The Timesheet Productivity graph shows the number of hours (in a week) which is being attributed to productive projects. This is compared to the target productivity which has been set for you. In a week which contains absence booking such as sick leave or holiday, this will be down, whereas in a week with no admin or absence time this will be 100%. |
