This article explains the effect of time off (Scheduled Leave and Public Holidays) on the Weekly Utilization % of the People Planner.
Utilization Calculation
Utilization % = Hours allocated / Effective Capacity * 100
Hours allocated
The total of all relevant assignments within a period (i.e. if looking at billable utilization - all billable assignments).
Effective capacity
The total available work hours. This is the total contracted capacity less any Scheduled Leave or Public Holidays.
Examples
When there is no leave
Kenny's contracted and effective capacity is 40 hours (5 days) a week. He is assigned 32 hours (4 days) of work.
= 32/40 * 100
= 80% utilization
When Scheduled Leave is added
Kenny's contracted capacity is 40 hours (5 days) a week. He has 1 day off (8 hours), and there is no work assigned to him.
The effective capacity for the week is 32 hours (40 - 8).
Weekly Utilization %
= 0/32 * 100
= 0%
When Scheduled Leave and Work are added
Kenny's contracted capacity is 40 hours (5 days) a week. He has 1 day off (8 hours), and 4 days (32 hours) of work assigned to him.
The effective capacity for the week is 32 hours.
Weekly Utilization %
= 32/32 * 100
= 100%
