The monthly Workload Report is the source of current information on the status of
workloads. The data derived from the report, together with information from other
sources, are used by CMS for such purposes as:
• Estimating workloads,
• Analyzing manpower and material requirements,
• Establishing operating norms and pars,
• Comparing the performance of individual intermediaries, and
• Identifying problem areas for resolution by the intermediary and/or CMS.
The workload report is designed to serve as a basic management tool for individual
contractors. It provides data needed for budgeting, financing, work-planning, progress
evaluation, and identification of operating problems.
The form must be submitted in accordance with the following instructions.
