When you generate the relevant workshop reports, the rate that is applied to the hours for a job will be based on which rate falls into the date range for the start of the job. If for instance, the job occurred on the 1st of October in 2021, then the external labour rate will be $70. A job that occurred on the 1st of October in 2022 will have an external labour rate of $82, and a job that occurred on the 1st of October in 2023 will have an external labour rate of $92. In each of the above examples, the internal rate hasn’t changed, so it will always have a value of $60.

Adding new labour prices

  1. If you want to introduce a new rate, click the ‘+ Add Price’ button under the relevant table depending on if you are adding a new internal or external price.
  2. You will need to indicate the date that this price takes affect, and the price.
  3. Click Ok to add the new rate into the pricing table.

There will always be a starting record that covers all possible dates (Beginning of Time until ∞). By entering a new price with a new start date, the initial record will have its end date set to the day before the newly entered record. In the example below, a new internal price of $65 is being added which commences on the 1st of January 2023.

If you enter a new rate in the middle of two existing records, the previous record will have its end date updated to the day before the new start date, and the end date of the new record will be the day before the start date of the next record. In the example below, a new internal price of $62 is added to commence on the 1st of January 2022.
