What's in it

Work hours

Account-wide working hours with per-SDR overrides.

Automatic work time

Time in the platform is tracked while the SDR works — no timesheet.

Work-time variance

Actual hours against expected hours, per SDR.

Absences

Vacation, sick leave and personal time recorded in one place.

Holiday-aware maths

Expected hours use working days: weekdays minus the country's public holidays.

Meetings per hour needs real hours

Five meetings from an SDR who worked 40 hours is not the same as five from one who worked 12. Without reliable hours, meetings per hour — the number behind capacity, pricing and fair pay — is a guess.

Hours without timesheets

Dialbrew tracks work time while SDRs work in the platform, against their configured work hours. The variance view shows actual against expected hours per SDR, so a manager sees who is under or over before it shows in the results.

How expected hours are calculated

  1. 1

    Start from work hours

    Account-wide hours, with per-SDR overrides.

  2. 2

    Count working days

    Weekdays only.

  3. 3

    Remove public holidays

    Using the account's country holiday calendar.

  4. 4

    Remove absences

    Vacation, sick leave and personal time.

  5. 5

    Compare to actual

    Tracked work time against what was expected.

A week with a public holiday doesn’t make an SDR look 20% behind.
