Adding budgets
To make the budget visible in the schedule, go to the Schedule tab and click on the Filters button in the upper right corner. In this list, Show totals and Show budget must be checked.
When those are active you will see a budget bar and totals bar appear in the schedule. By clicking on the pencil on the left side under a team behind Budget you can enter the data.
Budgets can be set per team and are divided into two types:
-
Budget for salary: This is where the salary costs of a team per day are compared to the set salary budget.
-
Budget for hours: Here the daily hours of a team are compared to the set budget for the worked hours.
Once you have saved the budget, you will see at the bottom of the schedule per team and department the set budget and the scheduled total costs per day.
On the right side of the schedule you will find a complete overview of the total costs in salary and hours per employee. If these costs are above the budget, it will be shown in red.
