Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The performance rating factor represents the pace at which the worker is performing the work element, so if the worker is observed performing the work element at a higher-than-average pace, the performance rating factor will be set greater than 1.0 to reflect this. This adjustment will increase the overall time standard for the work element.
