How are points forecast calculated:

 

Type

Description

Allowance

The sum of all points scheduled to be given out as points allowances at the first of every month. The points allowances are set in the Billing > Points page.

This value is the sum of all refill and deposit types of allowances, treating both types of allowances the same way.

For example:

  • Employee A has an allowance that is set to refill to 100 points. They currently have 50 points in their allowance

  • Employee B has an allowance that is set to deposit 100 points. They currently have 100 points in their allowance.

  • The amount forecasted will be 200 points.

Pulse Surveys Incentive

This is an approximated average of survey incentive points that are set to be given out assuming that all employees who can answer surveys have answered their surveys.

(number of points × number of employees who can answer surveys ) ÷ frequency in days

Frequency in days represents either 7 for weekly or 14 for bi-weekly.

This will give us the approximate daily points allocated for survey incentives. We then multiply that with the number of days in the month to give an approximate amount of points to be given out.

Work Anniversary

This takes the number of employees who have a hired date in the month and multiplies that by either:

  • The amount set for a single work anniversary or

  • The specific amount set for certain years

These settings are set in the Settings > Customizations page under Work Anniversary.

Birthday

This takes the number of employees who have a date of birth in the month multiplied by the amount set to give out in points under Settings > Customizations page under Birthday

Bank balance

This is the bank balance forecasted based on previous month’s forecasted points spent + any amount of auto purchase of points. Both refill or deposit are counted in full.
