You can manage breaks in Abtrac by either skipping them entirely and logging only work timesheet lines, or by explicitly entering break time — typically against a non-billable project, or carefully within a billable project.

Many Abtrac reports display chargeable hours, non-chargeable hours and one or more productivity percentages. Although these percentages may appear similar, each is calculated differently and answers a different business question. This article explains how each value is calculated and when each productivity measure is most useful.

The Employee Productivity Report provides a summary of productive and non-productive time recorded by each employee during the selected reporting period. The report summarises each employee's recorded hours for the selected period, showing the split between chargeable and non-chargeable (billable and non-billable) time. It also calculates productivity using three different measures, allowing you to compare chargeable hours against total recorded hours, At Work hours, and each employee's standard required hours for the selected period.

The Employee Productivity (Separating Not at Work) Report provides a summary of productive and non-productive time recorded by each employee during the selected reporting period. The report summarises each employee’s recorded hours, showing the split between chargeable and non-chargeable (billable and non-billable) time. With the At Work inclusion, the Employee Productivity (Separating Not at Work) report provides additional visibility into employee availability, as well as utilisation. This avoids penalising staff who have taken approved leave, but otherwise met their targets.

Learn how to use Abtrac's productivity reporting to measure chargeable work, understand utilisation, interpret Employee Productivity reports, analyse non-productive time, and make informed management decisions using timesheet data.
