How Does Proration Affect Monthly Objective Scores?

Last updated: November 6, 2026

Required permissions:

The Ambition Scores: Edit permission is required to turn Proration on/off for a Scorecard metric.

Required features:

Proration must be enabled for a metric and an employee must be marked as Out of Office for Proration to be applied to a Scorecard Target.

How Is Proration Applied to Monthly Scorecard Targets?

Ambition uses the following formula to modify employees' monthly Objective Score targets:

Prorated Target = Original Target * (Number of workdays not marked Out of Office / total number of workdays in the Scorecard timeframe)

Ambition defines months as calendar months (such as January 1 to January 31) and not as custom periods.

Workdays are defined as Mondays through Fridays. Weekends are not considered to be workdays.

For the examples below, assume that the target is 100 Emails per month and that this month has 22 working days.

Original Monthly Target: 100
How Proration is Calculated: Original Target * (Employee working days/total workdays in the month)
Proration Formula: 100 * (21/22)
Prorated Target: 95.5

Original Monthly Target: 100
How Proration is Calculated: Original Target * (Employee working days/total workdays in the month)
Proration Formula: 100 * (17/22)
Prorated Target: 77.3

Original Monthly Target: 100
How Proration is Calculated: Original Target * (Employee working days/total workdays in the month)
Proration Formula: 100 * (0/22)
Prorated Target: 0

Note:

If Proration is enabled for a monthly Objective Scorecard metric and the employee is marked as Out of Office for the entire month, then all other monthly targets will be set to 0.
