Labor Multipliers

You can apply zero to three labor multipliers to an employee's labor billing rate.

You enter these values in the three Multipliers fields on the Labor tab of the Billing Terms form. Vision follows a set of rules to apply the multipliers.

Multiplier	How the Multiplier is Used
1	The multiplier does not display on the invoice, but is included in the employee’s rate on the invoice and used to compute the hourly rate for the extension.
2	The multiplier is applied to the extension plus Multiplier 1 (cumulative). It displays on the invoice if the Show multipliers option is selected.
3	The multiplier is applied to the extension plus Multiplier 2 (cumulative). It displays on the invoice if the Show multipliers option is selected.

Depending on the method and the rate being used (whether the rate is the employee’s job cost rate, from a rate table, or from an override table), Vision applies the multipliers in different ways.

Multiplier Method	Source of Rate	How Vision Applies Multipliers
Rate Times Multiplier	Override Table	If the rate type is Cost or Max Cost Rate, no multipliers are applied to billing rate overrides. If a cost maximum is indicated in the override table, the multipliers are applied to the lesser of the employee's job cost rate or the cost maximum.
	Employee Info Center (job cost rate)	Vision applies multipliers to all job cost rates in the Employee Info Center.
Rate Table	Override Table	Vision applies multipliers to the rate specified in the Rate column in the override table. The rate type is ignored.
	Labor Rate Table	Vision applies multipliers to all rates from the labor rate table.
By Category	Override Table	Vision applies multipliers to the rate specified in the Rate column in the override table. The rate type is ignored.
	Labor Category Table	Vision applies multipliers to all rates from the labor category table.
By Labor Code	Override Table	Vision applies multipliers to the rate specified in the Rate column in the override table. The rate type is ignored.
	Labor Code Table	Vision applies multipliers to all rates from the labor code table.
