MAN-YEAR
A method of measuring the amount of work done by a person within one calendar year. To get the man-year of an individual, take the number of hours worked by an individual during the week and multiply it by 52 or the number of weeks worked in a year.

Organizations compute their employees’ man-year for two reasons: to use it as a performance metric, together with sales or cost figures; and for budgetary purposes.
