How is Billability defined in a legal contract?
- Billability means the fraction of the total hours worked by a business's labor force that is billable to its customers. For the Borrowers, it is calculated as a percentage where the numerator equals the aggregate of direct labor charges for customer projects for any given period, and the denominator equals the total available labor, excluding leave time, for the same period. Seen in 1 SEC filing.
- Billability means at any time, the quotient expressed as a percentage. Seen in 1 SEC filing.
