This article describes how Manager SE uses the wage set in Technician Setup to determine cost of labor. To help simplify the process, the information below, describes how to break down the wages for Technicians and Service Writers. These wages are cost on Labor.
*Note: Commission is also considered cost on the work orders. This is calculated based on a percentage on Sale or Profit.
The cost of the Technicians/Service Writers can be broken down in two sections:
- Salary
- Hourly wage
Calculating Salary:
This calculates the salary based on a $30 per hour pay.
- Divide the Wage by the hours per week
Wage = $1200.00
Hours per Week = 40
1200/40 = 30
2. Take that value and multiply that by the Pay Hours on the labor line
30 x 1 = $30
The check Profit information will reflect the correct Cost
Formula:
(Wage/Hours Per week) x Pay Hours
Example:
Wage = $1200.00
Hours per Week = 40
Pay Hours = 1
(1200/40) X 1
(30) X 1 = $30
Calculating Hourly Wage:
Multiply the Wage by the Pay Hours on the Labor line
30 X 1 = $30.00
