Example of a Travel Allowance Calculation

Roger’s assigned Resource Type has these Work Time configurations:

• Travel time to the first activity is included from the Working Time Start

• Travel time from the last activity to the Resources End Location is included from the Working Time End

Jane and John’s assigned Resource Type has these Working Time configurations:

• Resource is allotted up to 30 minutes of travel time prior to the Working Time Start

• Resource is allotted up to 30 minutes of travel time after the Working Time End

Consider Roger, Jane, and John, who have their work shift from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and these distances from work place:

• Roger lives 30 minutes from his first and last job. So, for both jobs, 30 minutes of travel is included part of his workday.

• Jane lives 45 minutes away from the first and last job. So, for both of her jobs only 15 minutes of the travel should be counted as part of her workday and the additional 30 minutes is beyond her workday.

• John lives 20 minutes away from his first and last job. So, no travel is part of his workday and the 20 minutes travel for the last job is done beyond his workday.

Using this example, if a new activity is created that is estimated to finish by 5:45 pm and overtime is no allowed, routing will not assign this activity to Roger. If it was assigned, Roger would incur overtime, because his shift ends at 6:00 pm. The routing engine would look for a more suitable resource.
