Add Time or Labor

When you open the Debrief page, Labor Hours and Travel Time are displayed automatically. For a project-based team activity, labor hours may also be displayed for each crew member assigned to the activity.

You can use the Labor option to add or update the time spent on an activity, including overtime. For team or crew activities, you can add labor for a missing crew member, delete an incorrect labor entry, or add another labor entry for a different work type.

Calculation of Labor Hours and Travel Time

Labor Hours Calculation

Labor hours are determined by the difference between the activity start time and the activity end time.

If the activity end time is earlier than the time when the resource opens the Debrief plugin (before saving the debrief entries), the labor hours are calculated as the difference between the activity start time and Debrief plugin opening time.

Travel Time Calculation

Travel time is calculated as follows:

  • Travel Start Time: Calculated by subtracting the travel duration from the activity start time.
  • Travel End Time: Defined as the activity start time.

The difference between the travel start time and travel end time is recorded as the travel time.

You can also update the values of Labor hours and Travel time as well. You can override the auto populated values and create new values in the Debrief page.

You can use the Add Charges option to add the time you have spent on an activity, including any overtime.
