Staffing formulas

Understand our daily, weekly, and monthly staffing formulas

For transport, logistics, and moving services in Geneva, hour treatment depends on the selected framework. The shorter the assignment, the less flexibility; the longer it is, the more the schedule can be adapted.

Key principle

Hours are tracked precisely. An overtime hour can be paid at 125% or compensated with 1h15 of rest when the assignment framework allows it.

Three formats

A framework matched to the real duration of the need

Each formula sets a planning base, a level of flexibility, and a clear way to handle overruns.

Daily leasing

Low flexibility

For a one-off need: one-day reinforcement, delivery, or targeted move.

Base
9 effective work hours per day.
Overrun
After 9h: 25% premium.
Compensation
No compensation in daily leasing.
Operational framework
Operational maximum: 11 effective hours.

Weekly leasing

Medium flexibility

For several days with an adaptable weekly schedule.

Base
45h per week; 9h30 days if the week stays balanced.
Overrun
Beyond the weekly framework: overtime.
Compensation
Above 45h: premium hours, no weekly compensation.
Operational framework
Operational ceiling: 50h, or max 5 premium hours.

Monthly leasing

High flexibility

For a recurring, partial, or variable monthly need.

Base
90h per month; 9h30 days if the overall schedule stays balanced.
Overrun
Peaks can be smoothed if the monthly schedule stays controlled.
Compensation
Easier compensation: 1h = 1h15.
Operational framework
Operational ceiling: 50h, or max 5 premium hours. Compensation possible over the month.

Important rule

Compensation always includes the premium

An overtime hour remains an overtime hour. It can be paid at 125% or compensated with 25% additional time.

2 overtime hours = 2h30 of rest 5 overtime hours = 6h15 of rest 10 overtime hours = 12h30 of rest

Possible differences

Schedule examples by formula

The same hours are not handled the same way depending on whether the assignment is daily, weekly, or monthly.

One reinforcement day

Daily

One-off need for a specific delivery or move.

Typical schedule

  • 07:00-19:00 with 1h break
  • 11 effective work hours
  • Assignment ends the same day

9 normal hours + 2 hours with a 25% premium. No compensation in daily leasing.

Balanced week

Weekly

Several-day assignment with longer days but a controlled total.

Typical schedule

  • Monday to Thursday: 9h30
  • Friday: 7h
  • Weekly total: 45h

No immediate premium: 9h30 days remain within a balanced week.

Month with activity peak

Monthly

Recurring need with a busier week and compensation later.

Typical schedule

  • Week 1: 50h
  • Weeks 2-3: 20h + 30h
  • Monthly base: 90h

The 5 premium hours can be compensated over the month if the overall schedule allows it.

FAQ

What is the difference between daily, weekly, and monthly?

Daily leasing covers one-off reinforcement and stays strict. Weekly leasing fits several days with balance over the week. Monthly leasing fits recurring or variable needs with compensation possible over the month.

Why 9h in daily and 9h30 in weekly or monthly?

In daily leasing, the assignment ends the same day: after 9h, hours carry a premium. In weekly or monthly leasing, 9h30 days can be organized without immediate premium if the overall schedule remains balanced.

What does the 90h monthly base mean?

90h per month gives enough volume to build a useful schedule: regular, partial, or split. It also helps smooth some activity variations.

How do the 50h ceiling and compensation work?

The operational ceiling is 50h per week, or max 5 premium hours. In monthly leasing, these hours can be compensated over the month, for example 1 overtime hour = 1h15 of rest.
