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.
The Employee Timesheet Completion Report provides an at-a-glance view of each employee’s progress through the current timesheet period. It helps managers quickly identify missing or incomplete timesheets, employees who have not entered today’s time, and staff recording more or fewer hours than expected. By displaying each day separately, the report also makes it easy to see who is entering time daily and who is catching up later in the week.
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.
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.
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.
Learn how Abtrac calculates Standard Hours in Employee Productivity and Hours Worked reports. Understand the difference between Units Per Timesheet and Daily Required Units, why calendar month reports can produce unexpected Standard Hours, and how to ensure productivity percentages are calculated accurately.
The Listing of Incomplete Timesheets report helps identify missing timesheets and incomplete timesheet entries for a selected period. It highlights employees who have not yet created a timesheet for a period, as well as those who have created one but have not entered their required hours.
The Approve Timesheets page allows managers and administrators to review employee timesheets before they are committed (locked). It provides a quick overview of which timesheets are complete, whether employees have entered their required hours, and whether each timesheet is ready to be committed. From here timesheets for staff can be committed in bulk.
Timesheet reminders help ensure employees complete their timesheets on time by automatically sending email reminders when they have not entered their required Total Units per Timesheet.
Reminder emails are only sent when a timesheet exists for the period and the employee has not met their required total units. Reminders can be sent before the end of a timesheet period, on the period end date, or after the period has finished.
Identify projects that are approaching or have exceeded their fee budget. Learn how the Jobs Close to Their Budget Allocation report measures budget consumption using time worked against the job fee, helping managers monitor project performance, prioritise reviews, and identify potential scope creep before projects become unprofitable.
