## Things to know

- The Job Time Multiplier does not affect hours calculated and displayed toward Job Costing, it only affects commissions.

## 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%.

Split determines how much credit each technician is getting for the job. For example: If two technicians perform work on a job, the split could be an even 50%-50%, or it could be 75%-25% if the first technician did a bulk of the work. By default 100% of the technician split will go to the first technician assigned to the job.
