👷♂️ How to Use the Labor Cost Management Template
Welcome! This Labor Cost Management Template is designed to help you easily track worker hours, calculate labor costs, and manage payments for construction projects. Here’s a simple workflow to get started:
✅ Step 1: Understand the Template Structure
The template includes one main database:
🧱 Labor Tracker – where all entries are logged and calculated.
Key Properties:
- Worker Name – name of the laborer or contractor
- Role – their job function (e.g., Electrician, Plumber, Foreman)
- Project – the project they’re assigned to
- Task – the task they're working on
- Hourly Rate – how much they’re paid per hour
- Hours Worked – total hours for that entry
- Date – when the work was done
- Total Cost – auto-calculated field (Hourly Rate × Hours Worked)
- Payment Status – track whether the payment has been made (Paid, Unpaid, Pending)
