How job multiplier works

The Job Time Multiplier helps attribute revenue automatically based on the technician's labor type.

  • It multiplies the time the technician worked by the value defined in the labor type settings.

  • This value can be set as any decimal between 0.0 and 3.0:        

    • 0.0: Technician doesn't receive revenue for any hours worked.

    • 3.0: Technician receives 3x their logged time on the job.

Example: If a crew of 3 works 1 hour on a job and the lead technician has a multiplier of 2x, the system attributes them with 2 hours in the revenue split. This changes their share from 33% attribution to 50%.
