If you run a business that charges customers on the basis of overtime, it is essential to know how to use overtime types in your service management software. ServiceBox is one such software that enables you to manage your business operations effectively. In this article, we will discuss how to use overtime types in ServiceBox.
Enabling Overtime Feature:
The first step is to enable the overtime feature under the timesheet features in the settings tab.
Once you do this, you can go to the timesheet tab and define the different types of overtime that you pay your technicians for, or that you want them to record their time within the job. You can define the unit cost specific to each overtime type. Some examples of overtime types that you can add are time and a half, double time, travel time, and overtime.
Applying Overtime Type
Once you have defined the overtime types, you can apply them when your technician checks in, checks out, or manually adds their hours. Under the labor section, when adding the time, you can check the "yes, apply overtime type" option and choose the overtime type you want to register. The system will calculate the overtime pay accordingly and add it to the invoice. This information will also reflect in your timesheet, providing your admin staff with accurate technician hours.
Using Overtime Types in Job Costing
You can also use overtime types in job costing. If you are using job costing, you can define the overtime types for each labor item. This feature is more advanced, and new users can ignore it for now.
Conclusion
Setting up overtime types in ServiceBox is a simple process that can help you manage your business operations effectively. By enabling the overtime feature, defining the overtime types, and applying them, you can ensure that your technician's overtime pay is accurately calculated and reflected in your invoices and timesheets. Overall, ServiceBox makes it easy for you to manage overtime types and other aspects of your business.
