PMS Ratchets

Available from 4.4.1

Ratcheting allows for an increase in penalties if subsequent failures occur. The Ratchet can be associated with either a Task or failed Task periods and can be run across one or more PMS Batches (consecutively or non consecutively).

There are 3 different occurrences when Ratchets would usually be applied.

  • Repeated Failure - if a number of failures occur in one Location an increase of the original penalty could be added.
  • Extensive Failure - if a Task has failed to be completed on time.
  • Threshold Failure - a threshold number of Tasks are allowed against an entity e.g. 3 Tasks in one area. If the number of Tasks exceeds this threshold then additional charges will apply.

The list of Ratchets are maintained here.
