With JACK, you can link your employee's timesheets to a specific cost category for a specific job to easily track actual vs. estimated labor costs.

Within Job > Job Financials > Budget, you can expand a cost category. If a timesheet has been allocated against that specific cost category, the Timesheet entries will show the staff member, hours worked, hourly rate, and total cost.

To set staff members' hourly costs, navigate to Contacts > Staff > Details and ensure that the Xero Employee name is entered correctly. JACK will automatically pull the hourly employment rates from Xero. Ensure the last synced date is recent to ensure the hourly rate is correct.

If the job is set up as a cost-plus job, the charge-out rate can be selected when you invoice the client for the labour costs.
