The Weekly Labor Summary provides a day-by-day summary of the key performance information for each position. It does not provide the extensive detail of the Daily Operating Report, nor does it give the broad period-to-date and month-to-date values of the Daily Hours Summary. The Weekly Labor Summary is ideal for senior managers who want to assess day-to-day performance without having to look at a report every day. The report also makes it easy to see how performance balances out over the course of the workweek.
This report shows totals by job per week, and indicates what should have been staffed versus was was actually staffed, as well as what was forecasted and scheduled. (Forecast hours come from the original forecast hours that LMS generated based on the forecasted volumes for the week.) KBIs associated with that job are also displayed to give you a point of reference.

Key Information
- Provides a summary section which gives you the totals for the department, division, and property as appropriate.
- Provides a weekly KBI table to view the correlation of the volumes to hours for that department.
- Displays queries for each Stat type (Forecast, Scheduled, Actual, Standard), for each job.
- Adds up the hours (Reg, OT1, OT2, OT3 and Training) by day and by week. No overtime rate is applied to the hours as this is just a straightforward outputting of the hours data.
- Excludes the sub-grouping display of data but does not affect the processing by job class, when using the Summarize By option.
