Labor work time reconciliation with employee attendance time-line is performed in real-time for accurate cost allocation and distribution. Gaps between jobs in excess of allowed time are tracked for productivity measurement performed by the system. Time & labor separates time segments such as overtime in cost allocation records. Also, a job may consists of multiple segments performed in different shifts, time frames and by a number of employees working in sequence or in parallel. Accurate reconciliation and of labor time into cost segments is performed by the T&L application.
As a result, cost distribution is performed within the T&L process based upon default or reported cost elements applicable at the installation site. The system creates detailed records at time of work reporting for each segment of time within a shift allocated to a cost element or cost center and by employee or a crew of employees. Detailed cost records are maintained in a year to date archive and reported in various forms and formats. Actual cost vs. standard cost is also calculated at time of reporting.
