Frequently Asked Questions
Should I plan for full capacity?
No. Build in a buffer for leave, training, and downtime, since employees are rarely productive for every scheduled hour.
How does this help budgeting?
Knowing the required headcount lets you forecast salary, benefit, and overhead costs before committing to hiring.
