Labor profitability | FieldCamp

See what your labor hours earned in FieldCamp — overall margin, total labor cost against revenue, and a per-job list that flags the jobs running over.

Labor profitability answers one question: what did the hours buy? It reads the same verified ledger that runs payroll, so labor cost here is the cost you are actually paying, not an estimate someone typed in.

Before you begin

The tab is available to the Admin and Dispatcher tiers.
Technician pay rates must be set in team management, otherwise labor cost cannot be calculated.
Job revenue comes from the job's own totals, so estimates and invoices need to be in place for margin to be meaningful.

Open labor profitability

Open Timesheet.
Select the Labor profitability tab.

The tab opens on a rolling 30-day window. Use the period picker to switch to a day, week, month or custom range.

Read the summary

The first card leads with your overall margin for the period, then three totals:

Total labor hours — verified hours across the jobs in the period
Total labor cost — those hours at each technician's rate
Total revenue — revenue on the same jobs

Overall margin is revenue minus labor cost, as a percentage of revenue. It shows a dash when there is no revenue in the period.

The second card breaks the paid day into Work, Travel and Idle/admin so you can see how much of what you paid for was time on the tools, and how that compares with the previous month.

Read the per-job list

Jobs · estimate vs verified lists the jobs that consumed hours in the period:

Column	What it shows
Job	Job number
Name	Job name, with a status chip when one applies
Labor cost	Verified hours at technician rates
Revenue	Revenue booked on that job
Margin	Revenue less labor cost, as a percentage

A job that is tracking to plan shows on-track; one that has run past it shows over. Select any row to open the job.

Margin here is a labor margin. It compares revenue with labor cost only — material, equipment and subcontractor costs are not deducted, so it is not the job's full profit.

Use it

The list is most useful sorted mentally into three buckets: jobs marked over, jobs with a low margin, and jobs where labor hours look nothing like the estimate. Those are the job types where your estimating rules need attention. To see where a specific job's hours went, open that technician's day or the visit's work clock entries.
