Utilization Level Calculations

Our utilization level calculations are based on daily data and consider the following aspects for each individual:

  1. Availability on a specific day

  2. Utilization for that day


Availability

To determine availability for a specific day, we take into account:

1. Work Expectations

  • Is the employee expected to work on that day? If so, how much?

    • This is based on the employee's connected calendar, which reflects factors such as bank holidays and work schedules.

    • For example, the calendar identifies whether a day is a working day and the extent of work expected, such as 50% for a half-day. (Currently, we use a default calendar based on Swedish bank holidays.)

2. Employee Availability and Team %

  • Employment Level: Reflects the portion of a full-time workday an employee is expected to work.

  • Team %: Represents the percentage of the employment level that the consultant is expected to dedicate to their team.


Example: Lisa’s Availability Calculation (July 9, 2017)

  1. Employment Rate: Lisa works full-time, so her employment rate is 100%.

  2. Team Allocation: Lisa is allocated to Team Alpha as a consultant for 50% of her employment rate.

  3. Assignment Booking: Lisa is booked on an assignment for 50% of her available time.

Calculation Details

  • Team Alpha Availability:
    Lisa’s available time as a consultant in Team Alpha is 100% x 50% = 50%

  • Utilization Level:
    ​Lisa’s utilization level is 50% / 50% = 100% during the applicable period.
