How the fee is calculated
- 01Expected total = base fee × number of regular members.
- 02Share of hours = hours of the member / hours of all regular members.
- 03Unreduced fee = expected total × (1 − share of hours).
- 04The unreduced fees add up to more than the expected total; the difference is taken off every fee equally. No fee goes below zero (the rest is shared by the others).
