Contracts Ending
A rolled up figure of contracts ending in selected date range. Click ‘View Details’ will show to a breakdown of people and the contract end date information. Clicking the person’s name will link to their dashboard.
You can proactively manage upcoming resourcing needs by highlighting when individuals are nearing the end of their contracts. This reduces the risk of last-minute gaps, supports smoother workforce planning, and maintains high-quality data in the system.

Workload By Employment Type
Shows how confirmed/tentative workload is distributed between employee types (employee, contractor, no contract) over time
Calculation Information
FTE: confirmed/tentative workload on selected projects, split by ‘employee type’: employee, contractor, no contract. Use default setting of full time hours to divide confirmed workload into FTE subtotals
Hours: confirmed/tentative workload on selected projects, split by employee type’: employee, contractor, no contract. Actuals (timesheet) hours are used for calculation if available.
If someone's contract changes mid period (e.g. mid week) from employee to contractor or vice versa, headcount contributes to whichever employment type they are at the beginning of the period selected.
