Labor Effectiveness report

The Labor Effectiveness report provides a weekly summary of the same information that is displayed in the Daily Operating report. The report calculates the variance in projected and actual volumes, as well as job forecast and scheduled variances.

There might be different units of measurement associated with work that is produced before the schedule day. Although daily figures might be distorted, they will balance out over the course of the week. An example of this type of situation is banquet production. Sometimes productions take place 2 to 3 days before to the function, thus the hours for the function day might be lower than standard, and days prior might be higher.

You can also run the Labor Effectiveness report for a shorter period time to assist in evaluating overtime usage by department or job. This report summarizes by department while still listing individual jobs.

Fields on the Labor Effectiveness report - Hours selected

Field	Description
Weekly FTE	Full Time Equivalents (FTE)—Represents the total hours for the report divided by 40. The resultant value tells you how many people worked in this job (or department or division) if each employee worked 40 hours. If the report period is greater than seven days, RMS will divide the number of days by seven to arrive at a standard week for use in calculating FTEs. This column displays how many FTEs there were this week.
Worked Hours	Actual worked hours that come from the property's time and attendance system or employee time records. Worked Hours variations include: Worked Hours - Regular—Includes hours from shift categories not designated as contract or training. Worked Hours - Contract—Includes hours from shift categories tagged as contract. Worked Hours - Training—Includes hours from shift categories tagged as training. Worked Hours - Total—Total of all worked hours across all categories. Worked Hours - PROD—Lists productive hours from shift categories marked as Include in Productivity. This setup excludes the option when Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) are selected, maintaining the report's flexibility in displaying hours or FTEs. It appears only when the Breakdown Hours option is selected in configuration.
Standard Hours	Hours that should have been used based on the actual volumes relative to the standards that were set up.
Scheduled Hours	Hours from your final schedule as entered in RMS.
Projected Hours	Hours that were scheduled and edited in the system when the system administrator closed the schedules for further editing.
Hours Variance	Variance between actual hours and standard hours.
Variance %	Percent achievement relative to standard.
Actual Costs	Results of multiplying the actual hours by the avg. wage(s).
Standard Costs	Results of multiplying the standard hours by the avg. wage(s).
Dollars Costs	Variance between actual dollars and standard dollars.
Overtime Hours	Overtime hours for the selected job, department, or division.
OT Pay	Results of multiplying the number of overtime hours worked by the appropriate overtime pay rate.
