The most common use for Labor Distribution is as the data entry module for Payroll. The reason is to accurately track labor costs (labor can be up to 50% of the cost of running your business). Our system tracks not only the time worked, but what the employee was doing, giving you a better tool for tracking employee activity. The benefit is increased employee productivity, which translates into increased profits.
Labor Distribution is also used when you are using both Payroll and Job Costing. It eliminates double entry when you are using both of these modules, saving you time.
