Labour cost settings (admins)

Open Settings → Labor Cost. This is what turns hours into money.

Budget

• Period type — the period budgets are measured over.
• Target labor % — alert when scheduled or actual labour exceeds this percentage of revenue.
• Weekly budget — maximum weekly wage budget; 0 means no limit.
• Currency — used everywhere money is shown.

Overtime

• Weekly overtime — apply a multiplier when weekly hours exceed the threshold.
• Weekly OT threshold (20–80 hours/week) and Weekly OT multiplier (1–3×).

Daily overtime lives in Settings → Time Clock.

Premiums

• Enable holiday pay and Holiday rate multiplier (1–4×) for shifts on designated holidays.
• Spread of hours pay — extra pay when the span from first clock-in to last clock-out exceeds 10 hours in one day.

On-costs

• Include employer taxes — CPF employer contribution and other statutory costs — with a Tax / contribution rate (0–50%).
• Include benefits and a Benefits multiplier (1–3×) on top of base wages.

Practices

• Turn on employer taxes and benefits if you want the labour report to mean anything. Base wages alone understate the real cost of an hour, often by a fifth or more.
• Set Target labor % only once sales entries exist — otherwise the alert has no denominator.
• Weekly and daily overtime are configured in different places on purpose. Set both, or you will find one of them silently doing nothing.
