Understanding This Report

What This Report Shows You

The Accrued Hours Report displays total hours worked by talent across your organization within a defined time period. Each row represents an individual talent member, showing their regular hours, overtime hours, billing amounts, wage information, and associated transaction details. The report provides both summary-level metrics and granular hour breakdowns by pay code, giving you complete visibility into time tracking and compensation data.

Unlike activity-based reports that track discrete events, this report aggregates time data to show cumulative hours. This makes it particularly valuable for payroll verification, compliance monitoring, and financial analysis where precise hour totals drive critical business decisions.

Why Use This Report

This report helps you answer critical questions about workforce time management and compensation:

  • Which talent are approaching benefit qualification thresholds based on hours worked?
  • How many total hours did we bill versus pay for a given period?
  • Are there discrepancies between entered hours and expected hours that require investigation?
  • Which talent qualify for bonus pay or holiday pay based on hour requirements?
  • What is the breakdown of regular versus overtime hours across offices or regions?
  • How do wage costs compare to billing revenue for specific talent or time periods?
  • Are there patterns in overtime usage that indicate staffing gaps or scheduling inefficiencies?

Who Benefits From This Report

Payroll Administrators: Verify hour entries before processing payroll, identify data entry errors, and ensure accurate wage calculations. Use hour totals to confirm timesheet submissions align with placement schedules and catch discrepancies before they become payroll issues.

HR & Benefits Coordinators: Track talent hours to determine benefit eligibility based on hour thresholds. Monitor ACA compliance by identifying talent approaching full-time status, and manage benefit enrollment windows based on qualifying hours worked.

Finance Teams: Analyze wage costs versus billing amounts to understand margin performance at the talent level. Use historical hour data to forecast labor costs, budget for overtime expenses, and identify high-cost placements that may need rate adjustments.

Operations Managers: Monitor overtime patterns to identify potential scheduling improvements or staffing needs. Track hours by office or region to ensure workload distribution aligns with capacity, and use hour trends to plan for seasonal demand fluctuations.

Using Filters

Filters appear on the right side of your screen and help you focus on specific segments of your hour data. All filters default to "Include all" when you first open the report.

Available Filters

How to Interpret What You're Seeing

High overtime percentages: If talent consistently show OT hours exceeding 20% of total hours, this may indicate understaffing on placements, schedule inflexibility, or opportunities to add additional talent to reduce overtime costs. Compare overtime rates against client billing arrangements to ensure profitability.

Discrepancies between bill hours and total hours: When bill hours are significantly lower than total hours worked, investigate non-billable time categories. This could indicate training time, breaks, or data entry errors that need correction before invoicing.

Talent approaching benefit thresholds: Use the Total Hours for Date Range to identify talent nearing eligibility for health insurance, 401k, or other hour-based benefits. Proactive communication about upcoming eligibility improves talent satisfaction and ensures compliance with benefit offering deadlines.

Inactive talent with recent hours: If talent marked as Inactive show hours in the current period, this may indicate timing lags between placement end dates and status updates, or potential data integrity issues requiring investigation.

Wide variations in average weekly pay: Significant differences in average weekly pay across similar job titles or experience levels may indicate rate inconsistencies, opportunities for rate negotiations with clients, or talent who should be considered for higher-paying placements.

Strategic Applications

Payroll Verification & Accuracy

Run the Accrued Hours Report before each payroll cycle to verify total hours match timesheet submissions. Compare regular and overtime hours against placement schedules to catch data entry errors before processing. Export the report and cross-reference against your payroll system to ensure wage calculations align with entered hours.

Use the Last Check Date column to identify talent who haven't received recent paychecks despite showing active hours. This early detection prevents payment delays and maintains talent satisfaction.

Benefits Administration & Compliance

Filter by Total Hours to identify talent approaching ACA full-time thresholds (typically 130 hours per month or 30+ hours per week). Monitor these talent closely to ensure timely benefit offerings and avoid compliance penalties.

Track cumulative hours using Total Hours Since First Placement to determine eligibility for tenure-based benefits like additional PTO, 401k vesting, or bonus programs tied to lifetime hours worked.

Export historical data quarterly to document ACA measurement periods and administrative periods. This creates an audit trail demonstrating compliance with look-back measurement requirements.

Cost Analysis & Margin Management

Calculate gross margin for each talent by comparing total bill amounts (Reg Bill + OT Bill) against total wages (Gross Wages). Identify talent with low margins—these may require rate renegotiations with clients or placement reviews to improve profitability.

Track overtime costs by office or region to identify locations with excessive OT expenses. High overtime usage may indicate understaffing, poor schedule management, or opportunities to add talent and reduce premium pay.

Use historical hour data to forecast labor costs for budget planning. Analyze seasonal patterns in regular and overtime hours to predict when you'll need additional staffing or when costs typically spike.

Bonus & Incentive Calculations

Filter by specific date ranges to identify talent who qualify for quarterly or annual hour-based bonuses. Export filtered results to streamline bonus payment processing.

Use dynamic pay code columns to isolate holiday pay hours, shift differential hours, or other special rate categories when calculating incentive compensation tied to specific work conditions.

Workforce Planning & Optimization

Analyze hour distribution across offices and regions to identify imbalanced workloads. Offices with consistently higher average hours per talent may need additional placements or recruiting support.

Compare total hours worked against currently placed status to find talent who recently completed assignments. These individuals are prime candidates for immediate re-engagement and new placement opportunities.

Track average weekly hours by job title to understand typical workload patterns for different roles. This data informs job descriptions, client expectations, and helps set realistic placement hour commitments.
