Team utilisation and expected hours

Team utilisation and expected hours

The Team Utilisation report shows how each employee's logged hours compare to what you'd expect from them in a normal week — handy for spotting who's stretched thin and who has room for more work.

Steps

  1. Go to Reports → Team Utilisation.
  2. Choose a period — this week, last week, or a month. (Utilisation isn't shown for "All time," since there's no fixed weekly window to measure against over an open-ended range.)
  3. Each employee shows their expected weekly hours alongside their logged hours, expressed as a Utilisation %.
  4. Contractors and freelancers show a Billable % instead, since they don't have a fixed weekly capacity to compare against.
  5. Check the summary row at the top of the report for your whole team's average.

Good to know

  • Expected weekly hours default to 38 but can be set per person in their team settings if their normal week is different.
  • Utilisation compares logged hours to expected capacity for the period; Billable % compares billable hours to total logged hours — they measure different things.
  • If someone shows no utilisation figure, check they have expected weekly hours set, and that you're not viewing the "All time" period.

FAQs

Why don't contractors get a utilisation percentage? Utilisation depends on a fixed weekly capacity, which only applies to employees — contractors are measured on billable % instead.

How do I change someone's expected hours? Update their weekly hours in Settings → Team.

Is the team average weighted by hours worked? The average utilisation is a straight average across employees with a set capacity; billable % is weighted by hours logged.
