Labor Recap Report
- Enoch Poston
The Labor Recap report summarizes and breaks down the mechanics' work day into four categories: direct time, indirect time, lunch breaks, and lost time. This report provides the total hours worked each day, how much time was spent in each of the categories, and the percentage of time spent on direct jobs (direct hours / (total hours-lunch break)). Lost time is time that is unaccounted. For example, if a mechanic clocks off a job at 10:00 a.m. but doesn't clock onto the next job until 10:02 a.m., two minutes will be categorized as lost time. Also, any time spent while in the Process a Work Order option will be categorized as lost time. To print the Labor Recap report, select the Labor Recap option (RSL) and fill in the prompts.
