Calculations for Section 12: Respondent Burden Hours & Costs – General Forms

Step 1: Calculate proportion of respondent burden hours across all staff roles at relevant levels of seniority.

TABLE 12.1.1: PROPORTION of Respondent Hours by Staff Role
Number of Hours: Management	Number of Hours: Technical	Number of Hours: Clerical/Support	Total Proportion
0.15	0.7	0.15	1

Step 2: Calculate weighted labor cost across all staff roles involved.
