Zusammenfassung:A method for managing fees and profitability is provided by calculating the number of hours that employees should be assigned to a specific project and stay within the available fees. The method derives the direct labor from fees, profitability, direct expenses, and overhead. The direct labor is then used to determine staff hours that can be spent on a project within the available fees for the project. The process also assigns hours per day for individual staff members to work on a project. The program reschedules labor when there is a change in any of the variables that comprise project fees. The program also evaluates working days available for each staff member, and considers holidays and individual leaves or vacation.
