Calculations should be performed when needed in relational databases. Thus,
unless the information from which the "hours spent in a service call" and
"hours spent biweekly" is no longer available, you should calculate the
values when you need them, monthly.

"Calculated Controls" cannot be bound to a Field in a Table for that
reason -- it is a violation of relational database design practices.
