Post Timesheets Vision 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

Vision 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
