For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Gene's method is close to what I use -- I base it on an annual number of
hours rather than a monthly figure.
The number of hours I use in the calculation is less than 2000, because I
also subtract from the 2000:
* 5 days (40 hours) of sick leave per year
* N days (x hours) of state and federal holidays per year
Kind regards,
Helen.
