Timesheets for construction

This adds up a construction crew's timesheet for the week and prices it. People on the crew times regular hours at the rate is the regular labor; crew times overtime hours at the rate and the multiplier is the overtime labor; together they are what the week cost the job, and divided by the crew hours they are the loaded cost per hour the estimate should have carried. The rate and the multiplier are yours; the FLSA floor is named and your contract may pay more. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan saves each week against the crew and the pay period.

Regular and overtime hours per person, times the crew

A construction week is entered as two figures per person, the regular hours and the overtime hours, and both are multiplied by the crew. The federal FLSA counts overtime as hours over 40 in the workweek at not less than time and a half; a prevailing-wage or union schedule may count daily and pay double time after a threshold. The tool takes the hours you decide are owed and the multiplier your agreement sets.

Regular labor and overtime labor, shown apart

The regular labor is crew times regular hours times the rate; the overtime labor is crew times overtime hours times the rate times the multiplier. They are shown apart because the overtime line is the one the estimate did not allow for and the one the superintendent asks about, and a single total hides which week went wrong.

The loaded cost per crew hour is the estimate's number

The week's labor divided by the crew hours is what an hour of this crew actually cost, and it sits above the rate by exactly the overtime premium. Set it against the rate the job was bid at and the gap is the margin the overtime took. The paid plan keeps every week against the crew, so the next bid starts from hours that happened.
