Labor Cost Report

Modified on Mon, 24 Nov at 1:37 AM

The labor cost reports feature provides a detailed view of workforce expenses within a project. This data is populated automatically as crew members clock in through their time card apps. Wages are calculated based on each worker’s shifts and the duration they spend on specific project tasks, giving you an accurate record of labor costs without manual entry. By reviewing these reports, you can closely monitor workforce spending and ensure alignment with the project’s labor budget. You can automatically track labor expenses as crew members log time on tasks and view detailed breakdowns of wages based on shifts and work duration
