Time and Motion Study
(Management Rights Remuneration)

Do you feel the remuneration in your caretaking agreement doesn’t accurately reflect the workload required? In many cases, the documented duties are not a true representation of the actual time and motion needed to perform them.

Our Time and Motion Reports provide a clear and objective assessment of the labour requirements associated with every caretaking duty. We analyse each task, apply the correct frequency, and calculate the corresponding hourly rate based on the nature of the job and accepted industry methodology. The result is a transparent, data-driven report with a task-by-task breakdown, giving all stakeholders a clear understanding of how the total remuneration figure has been determined.

Based on the findings, the parties may negotiate adjustments to the duty frequencies, along with a corresponding variation in remuneration, and formalise these changes within the existing agreement or by entering into a new agreement.

Whether you’re negotiating a variation, reviewing an existing agreement, or simply want clarity, our time and motion study reports are built to support informed decision-making — and we deliver them Australia-wide.

Why Get a Time & Motion Study?

A Time & Motion Study gives Body Corporates, caretakers and committees a clear understanding of how long each contracted duty actually takes to complete. Many caretaking agreements include duty lists that haven’t been reviewed for years — meaning the real workload may be higher or lower than originally assumed.

A Time & Motion Study helps you:

  • Understand the true workload: Reveals the realistic time required for every task, not just what’s written on paper.
  • Ensure remuneration is fair and defendable: Provides an evidence-based foundation to assess whether the current payment is reasonable.
  • Support clear, constructive negotiations: Removes guesswork so committees and caretakers can make informed decisions together.
  • Prevent disputes and misunderstandings: Objective timing data reduces conflict and provides clarity for all stakeholders.
  • Align duties with real on-site needs: Identifies gaps, overlaps, or outdated frequencies so maintenance expectations match modern standards.
  • Improve long-term planning and budgeting: Gives Body Corporates accurate labour modelling to support transparent financial planning.

We deliver independent, transparent Time & Motion Reports designed for Body Corporate environments, with clear task breakdowns, practical recommendations and evidence-based findings that support fair negotiations. Backed by strong industry expertise and efficient turnaround times, our reports are accurate, easy to understand and reliable for any review or discussion.
