1. Labor Totals - These numbers are derived from the job's forecast.

💡 Note: Peak ratio 🟰 Workers at peak ➗ Average workers

2. Custom Ratios - The ratio for this job, entered manually by the user, that enables RIVET to recommend labor on the job at certain times. These numbers can be set as a whole number or as a percentage. With these editable fields, the user is determining what amount of labor is going to be allotted for Supervision roles compared to Sub-JW roles. The remaining labor hours on this job will be recommended as Journeyworkers.

3. Expected Workers At Peak - These numbers are directly tied to the Custom Ratios section above. Changing the numbers in the Custom Ratio fields will impact the numbers in this section. 

💡 Note: Sub-jw to JW ratio 🟰  Sub-jw ➗ (Journeyworkers + Supervision) :1


Custom Ratios

The RIVET user sets a role ratio for the job detailing how many leaders should be onsite, as well as the percentage of sub journey workers compared to the total workforce.

💡 Note: The Role Ratio can be set as a percentage or a whole number.

Set as a percentage: Setting the lower limit as a percentage will ensure that the total supervisors on the job will never dip below that ratio.

Set as a number: If you know how many total supervisors you need at peak, entering this as a number will ensure that you have that many supervisors by the time the job has ramped up. Total supervisor recommendations will never exceed this number.
