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 Weekly Scorecard Targets?

Ambition uses the following formula to adjust an employee's weekly Activity Score or 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 weeks as a standard calendar business week (Monday - Friday) and not as custom seven-day periods.

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

Examples: Proration Applied to Weekly Scorecards

For the examples below, assume that the target is 100 Prospecting Calls per week.

Situation 1: Employee Is Out of Office for 1 Day in the Work Week

  • Original Weekly Target: 100

  • How Proration is Calculated: Original Target * (Employee working days/5)

  • Proration Formula: 100 * (4/5)

  • Prorated Target: 80

Situation 2: Employee Is Out of Office for 3 Days in the Work Week

  • Original Weekly Target: 100

  • How Proration is Calculated: Original Target * (Employee working days/5)

  • Proration Formula: 100 * (2/5)

  • Prorated Target: 40

Situation 3: Employee Is Out of Office All Days in the Work Week (Monday - Friday)

  • Original Weekly Target: 100

  • How Proration is Calculated: Original Target * (Employee working days/5)

  • Proration Formula: 100 * (0/5)

  • Prorated Target: 0

Note:

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

Where Can I View Data Contributed While Out of Office?

You can view data that an employee has received credit for while Out of Office in the following places:

  • The employee's Objective Scorecard

  • The Objective Scorecard of any Groups they belong to

  • Leaderboards
