How do I read the Hours Gained chart?
See total labor hours saved across all your jobs.
Purpose
Hours Gained answers: "How many hours did we save by running performance pay?" The chart aggregates hours-saved across all completed ProPays.
When To Use This
Use this when:
- An owner asks "is this program saving us time?"
- You're calculating ROI on the bonus program
- You want a single metric for executive reporting
What It Shows
Total hours saved per period (week, month, quarter — your filter).
If a job was budgeted 40 hours and finished in 30, that's 10 hours gained. The chart sums these across all your jobs.
Why This Matters
Hours saved translate to:
- More jobs done with the same crew
- Less overtime
- Better margin on fixed-price work
- Capacity to grow without hiring
For most customers, hours gained are the headline ROI metric.

Common Mistakes & How To Fix Them
"Hours gained is negative" Crews collectively went over budget. Check which jobs. Often a few outlier jobs drag the average.
"Hours gained jumped huge in one period" Verify the data — sometimes a rebuild on the integration retroactively recalculates and creates a spike.
