Staffing Dashboard - View PLUS Metrics
Note: PLUS metrics are only available in facilities utilizing the ISAS interface.
Department leadership often refers to the Productive Labor Utilization System (PLUS) within ISAS when making daily staffing decisions. Reports from this system provide pay-period to date (PPD) and month-to-date
(MTD) totals for productive labor usage by department such as how many hours you should use (target) and how many you are using (actual). Ideally, the difference between these values should be minimal.
Access: Users assigned the Staffing Dashboard - Action Capable role.
- Note: PLUS metrics totals for the previous day are updated and posted daily at 1:00 PM local time. When you view PLUS data today after 1:00 PM, pay period and month-to-date labor totals through yesterday are displayed (today minus one day).
Likewise. if you view PLUS data before 1:00 PM, you will see labor totals for the day before yesterday (today minus two days).
