Introduction
Job costing is a function that tracks the cost of a particular job that has been assigned to specific employees. This function provides a company with data about the job type and the duration it takes to complete the job for accurate assessment and pay calculations. Examples of companies that usually use the job costing function are accounting firms, law firms, automobile servicing companies, construction companies and etc.
In Ingress & TCMS V3, this function is available when using flexi schedule. As the weekly and daily schedule in both software only provide allowances for 3 pairs of clocking records, companies that require more clocking slots (e.g. need 4 pairs when employees are entitled to 3 breaks a day) may also find this function appropriate for their working arrangements. Using this, the software will calculate work time for each In-Out pair, to provide a better attendance analysis.
Benefits
By using the Job Costing feature in Ingress software, the management’s work is simplified. And by generating two such reports from Ingress software, which are the Job Cost Analysis & Detailed Employee Time Card reports, the management does not have to calculate all the job costs manually even though the pay rate is different for each task.
ProcessPlease be informed that the below configurations are done on Ingress software, as shown in the accompanying images. However, this can also be applied in TCMSV3 to achieve comparable results, as the configuration is similar with only a slight difference in the interface.
1) Create a flexi schedule.
2) Enable Job Costing Features in the Flexi Schedule’s General tab.
3) Define Work Code at the Remark.
4) For different employees, you can configure different pay rates for different jobs.
5) Upload the work code into the terminal.
6) After downloading the transaction data from the FingerTec terminal, the attendance sheet will display the user with the transaction data.
Result: Job Cost Analysis
This report is exclusively for the Job Cost Option at the flexi schedule. It displays the users’ multiple break times and also the job’s work code for the particular break time.
Result: Detailed Employee Time Card Report
This report is exclusively for the Job Cost Option at the flexi schedule. It displays the users’ multiple break times and also the job’s work code for the particular break time. Unlike the Job Cost Analysis, this report will summarize the attendance details.
