Understand the result
Method & assumptions
Net cash expense = coverage expense − genuinely avoided payroll. Unmet hours = vacancies × days × productive hours per day × (1 − absorbed share). Contribution effect = unmet hours × assumed contribution per hour.
Hypothetical worked example
1 vacancy × 10 days × 8 hours with 25% absorbed leaves 60 unmet hours.
Scope and limitations
- User-entered planning assumptions, not verified market data or a professional determination.
- Do not duplicate vacancy effects already included in turnover. Negative cash cost does not mean an operational benefit.
