The estimated shift cost corresponds to the expenses related to your employees :

  • For all shifts worked within your team on a daily basis, which are included in the daily analysis.

  • For all shifts worked within your team on a weekly basis, encompassing overtime and additional hours that may arise, which are accounted for in the weekly analysis.

This implies that the total from daily analyses may not always align with the weekly analysis.


Calculation of the estimated shift cost

On a daily basis

For permanent (CDI), fixed-term (CDD), and seasonal employees: hours worked per day * gross hourly rate * employer contributions

For temporary workers (interim), apprentices, interns, trainees, and extras: hours worked per day * gross hourly rate

For salaried employees on a daily basis: monthly gross salary / (number of days worked in the contract * 4.3333) * employer contributions

On a weekly basis

For permanent (CDI), fixed-term (CDD), and seasonal employees: hours worked per week * gross hourly rate * employer contributions [+ additional or overtime hours * premium rate]

For temporary workers (interim), apprentices, interns, trainees, and extras: hours worked per week * gross hourly rate [+ additional or overtime hours * premium rate]

For salaried employees on a weekly basis: monthly gross salary / (number of days worked in the contract * 4.3333) * employer contributions * number of days worked in the week

Note:

  • Analysis on Combo is an estimate: employer contributions applied are not personalized by contract type. It's an average applied only to permanent (CDI), fixed-term (CDD), seasonal, and salaried contracts.

  • If you've activated the Analysis option: add 10% for paid leave to the hourly rate, then we multiply the total found by 1.1 to be as close as possible to your reality.


Calculation of Gross Hourly Rate

🧐 The formula: Monthly gross salary / (weekly contract hours * 4.3333)
