When is ETC used?

ETC is used on projects where employees are added to specific tasks; typically projects with a time budget, e.g. customer projects or internal investment projects with a completion date. In other words, projects that are not performance specific. To benefit from the ETC function, your employee needs to have a task which is compared to an overall time schedule and a budget. Then your employee is responsible for updating the project manager on how many hours are needed to complete the task.
