Project-based compensation and performance coefficients: what TascU actually does

Performance coefficients do not need to define the whole TascU product. They are an optional project-calculation tool for companies that want to compare planned and actual workhours

TascU can be used for completely traditional hourly time tracking. Performance coefficients become relevant only when a company chooses to use project assessment.

The starting point is estimated workhours

A project or task can have an estimated workhours. When the task is assessed, the system can compare estimated and actual time when the project is completed.

If the work is completed faster than planned, the coefficient may move upward according to company settings. If the work takes longer, it may move downward. The company controls minimum and maximum values and how quickly the coefficient changes.

Why use an average?

One project may not fairly describe long-term performance. A cumulative coefficient can therefore use an average of several recent assessed tasks, reducing the influence of one unusually good or bad result.

Project budget and compensation

In a project-based model, the coefficient can become one component used when project compensation is distributed between employees. For individual work, the company can separately decide how any unused project budget is treated.

A hybrid model

Project-based compensation does not exclude hourly pay. A company can use ordinary hourly compensation as the base and a project/task-based component as an additional result or motivation element.

A coefficient does not measure work quality

Work speed and work quality are different things. TascU can compare planned and actual workhours, while quality control must remain part of the company’s own operational process.

The performance coefficient is therefore not “TascU itself”. It is one optional tool inside a broader workforce-management platform.
