πŸ”§ Step 1: Go to Labor Rates Settings

  1. Click your profile name in the top-right corner

  2. Select Settings from the dropdown

  3. Go to the Labor Rates tab

  4. Click Add Labor Rate to create a new labor rate

✍️ Step 2: Create a New Labor Rate

When creating a new labor rate, you’ll be able to set:

  • Name (e.g., Standard Rate, Fleet Rate, Weekend Rate)

  • Hourly Rate (e.g., After Hours Rate, $200/hr)

    Optional: By selecting the 'Make Default' slider, this becomes the Default Labor Rate for you shop

Click Create when finished.

βš™οΈ How Labor Rates Are Used

Once created, labor rates can be applied in a few ways:

πŸ“„ 1. On Individual Services (Invoicing Stage)

  • You can change the labor rate per service while invoicing

  • This gives you flexibility to adjust pricing based on job type, time, or technician skill


🏒 2. Assign Labor Rates to a Company

  • Go to the Customers tab

  • Select the company you want to assign a labor rate to

  • Click Edit, and assign a default labor rate to that company

This ensures all services created for that customer automatically use the correct rate


πŸ” Why Use Multiple Labor Rates?

Using labor rates helps you:

  • Stay consistent with different pricing agreements

  • Speed up invoicing by auto-applying rates

  • Charge fairly based on job type, customer, or urgency
