Formula
Task hours = Σ(count × minutes × daily frequency) ÷ 60 · Daily work hours = task hours × (1 + allowance ÷ 100) · Staff equivalent = daily work hours ÷ productive hoursHow it works
Frequently asked questions
Where should task times come from?
Use locally measured minutes for the task, equipment and agreed service scope. Example inputs are illustrative and are not industry productivity benchmarks.
Why can staff equivalents differ from required people?
Staff equivalents divide required hours by productive hours per person. Required people round that result up; actual assignments still need a supervisor’s review.
Does sufficient capacity prove cleaning quality?
No. This estimates labour time from the inputs. Task completion, access, training and inspection evidence must be reviewed separately against the approved service standard.
