Post Timesheets ASJC calculates a standard hourly job cost rate for the employee using the employee’s job cost rate, hours/day worked, and the ASJC job cost frequency.

(Job Cost Rate/Job Cost Frequency in days) / Hours/day

($800/5 days) / 8 = $20/Hour

The routine uses the standard hourly job cost rate and actual hours worked to calculate job costing amounts:

40 regular hours x $20/hour = $800

10 OT hours x $20/hour = $200

----------

Job Cost Total per Posted Timesheet $1,000

If the overtime percentage for the employee was 150 instead of 100, the OT cost would have been calculated as 10 OT hrs x $30/Hr = $300.

ASJC calculates a standard hourly job cost rate for the employee using the employee’s job cost rate, hours/day worked, and the ASJC job cost frequency.

(Job Cost Rate/Job Cost Frequency in days) / Hours/day

($800/5 days) / 8 = $20/Hour

The routine uses the standard hourly job cost rate and actual hours worked to calculate job costing amounts:

40 regular hours x $20/hour = $800

10 OT hours x $20/hour = $200

----------

Job Cost Total per Posted Timesheet $1,000

If the overtime percentage for the employee was 150 instead of 100, the OT cost would have been calculated as 10 OT hrs x $30/Hr = $300.

Run ASJC ASJC calculates the hourly job cost rate for the employee using the employee's job cost rate and actual timesheet hours worked, including both regular and overtime hours:

$800/50 hours = $16.00/hour

Job cost amounts are recalculated as follows:

40 regular hours x $16/hour = $640

10 OT hours x $16/hour = $160

-------

Job Cost Total per ASJC $800

When you select the Include overtime hours in job cost calculation check box, ASJC always uses the ASJC-calculated hourly rate to calculate overtime costs.

ASJC calculates the hourly job cost rate for the employee using the employee's job cost rate and actual timesheet hours worked, including only the regular hours:

$800/40 hours = $20.00/hour

Job cost amounts are recalculated for regular hours only.

40 regular hours x $20/hr = $800

-------

Job Cost Total per ASJC $800

When you do not select the Include overtime hours in job cost calculation check box, ASJC ignores overtime hours and does not calculate any cost for them. However, the overtime cost calculated when timesheets were posted still remains.
