- Creating an attendance table so there would be 1 row for each rep per month (you could go down to day level if you have the data)
- Each month append a new set of data for reps still with you
- Include a column with their "score" i.e number of months since start date/12 with a max value of 1.
Something like
Month|Rep_ID|Score
1|1|1
1|2|0.2
2|1|1
2|2|0.3
Then just aggregate the scores by months. This approach would also allow reps to have gaps in thier employment i.e. sickness etc.
