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. 

Report Options

OptionDescription

Mode                         

Determine whether the information is filtered by Division/Department or by Operating Code.

  • Division/Department—Select the division(s) and department(s) that you want to include in the report as well as the ability to Summarize By:  Division/Department/Job which allows you to choose the level of detail displayed in the report. The higher the level you choose the less detail you will see. For example, you will see more information if you select Jobs rather than Division or Department.
  • Operating Code—Generate a report that displays operating codes.  For example, chefs from three different departments can be included in the report as compared to having to look at three different department reports.
  • Summarize by—Choose the level of detail displayed in the report.

Start Date/End Date

Designate the first day and last day that data should be collected for the report. Note the green arrow icon resets the dates to the previous period.

Scheduled Hours

Adds a column to the report that lists scheduled hours.

Breakdown Hours

If selected, Worked Hours are organized by shift categories:

  • Worked Hrs - Regular—Hours in all shift categories that are not tagged as Contract or Training.
  • Worked Hrs - Contract—Hours in all shift categories that are tagged as Contract.
  • Worked Hrs - Training—Hours in all shift categories that are tagged as Training.
  • Worked Hrs - TOTAL—All worked hours in all shift categories.

Hours/FTEs

Select to display units as hours or FTEs (Full Time Equivalents). See Units displayed as FTEs. Determined by dividing actual hours 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, LMS will divide the number of days by seven to arrive at a standard week for use in calculating FTE's
