Hours-based job costing

Job costing

Create an active job with a labor-hour budget, connect time entries to it, and see actual hours and variance while the work is still underway.

What it helps you do

See budget progress

View actual hours against the job budget with a clear over-or-under variance.

Keep source records

Open the underlying employee entries instead of relying on a disconnected summary number.

Avoid sensitive wage data

CrewLog measures hours against hours and leaves payroll rates and financial accounting in their appropriate systems.

The CrewLog workflow

1

Create the job

Record the customer, job name, and expected labor hours.

2

Capture field time

Workers select the active job when recording their work.

3

Review variance

Managers monitor actual hours, investigate unassigned time, and close completed jobs intentionally.

Product boundary: Job costing in CrewLog is an operational labor-hours view. It does not calculate payroll, loaded labor cost, revenue, or profit.
