Frequently asked questions

4

How is the time cost of commuting calculated for a PMO Analyst?

Your hourly rate is calculated by dividing your gross salary by contracted hours across 46 working weeks (accounting for statutory leave). For a €58K PMO Analyst on 37.5 hours per week, that is €34/hr. On a 3-day hybrid schedule with a 60-minute round trip, you spend 138 hours commuting per year, valued at €4,640.

6

Why do you use 46 working weeks for commute calculations?
