Workload
With workload is called a in a certain time to-do task or work . In schools or other educational establishments, it is also used to indicate the subject matter to be mastered in a certain time.
“Everyone has their workload to do” or “I haven't done my workload yet” is usually used colloquially in the sense of “the work is not done yet”. In the German judicial administrations there was a “ workload conference ” until 2004 , in which it was determined which work steps had to be completed on average in which time.
The word comes from the Latin pensum : “day's work”, “task”, actually “the amount of wool weighed into a spinner for daily processing” (past participle from pendere : “weigh”; “hang on the scales”).
