The Weekly Labor Schedule Comparison report compares a scheduled labor metric to an actual labor metric. The comparison metrics available for selection are: Labor Dollars, Labor Hours, Labor Percent, and Shifts. The report also displays color-coded SDLW (same day last week) variances or SDLY (same day last year) variances. The variance results will be green if your scheduled hours, dollars, or percentage is less than your actual metric. The variance result will be red if your scheduled hours, dollars, or percentage is more than your actual metric.
