How does WebWork calculate activity levels?

To calculate employee activity levels, the system needs four types of data:

  • Minutes tracked
  • Mouse clicks
  • Mouse scrolls
  • Keyboard strokes 

To get the activity level percentage,

  • WebWork calculates actions per minute
  • Then divides the number by 50 (the normative number for keystrokes/mouse clicks)
  • And multiplies the result by 100

For example, an employee has tracked 8 hours, completed 1000 mouse clicks, 1000 keystrokes, and 1000 scrolls. 

Now let's use this data to calculate their activity level percentage.

  • Total actions: 1000 mouse clicks + 1000 keystrokes = 1000 scrolls = 3000
  • Tracked hours in minutes: 8 hours = 480 minutes
  • Activity per minute: 3000/480 = 6.25 
  • Activity level percentage: (6.25/50) * 100 = 12.5%

The activity level percentage of this employee will be 12.5% for 8 hours of work.

 

Here's the formula in summary:

  • Total actions = keyboardstrokes + mouseclicks + scrolls
  • Actions per minute = total actions/worktime in minutes
  • Activity level = (actions per minute/normative actions for minute(50)) * 100 = total activity level)
