Billability per employee

This chart shows a monthly breakdown of working hours, target billable hours, and planned billable hours of each employee compared to their actual hours. It also gives totals for each department in all of these categories so you can compare not only by employee, but by departments within your organization.

To learn how billable hours are calculated, see How VOGSY determines billability.

This report is most often used by organizational managers who want a full breakdown of their employees’ billable time.

  • Hours: Displays the employee’s billable hours.

Select how you want the data sorted:

  • By name

  • By highest actual billable hours

  • By lowest actual billable hours

number nine red circle sm

Select what type of billability to show for each employee:

  • Planned shows all planned hours for the selected month. This makes it possible to see the delta between planned and actual.

  • Forecast shows the forecasted billability based on actual hours spent plus future hours planned. This calculation should display what the billability will be for the current month or upcoming months. If Forecast is selected, past months will not show a forecast, because the actual hours of past months present the billability. For future months, the forecast is exclusively based on planned hours, since there will be no actual hours in future months.
