CFO Insights: Labor Costs Report, Labor Costs and Revenue Insights Report
This release introduces two new reports for Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) that provide insights into labor costs and how they compare to revenue. With these reports, you can analyze labor costs by period, subsidiary, department, location, or other segments. These reports also allow you to generate AI summaries of the data.
Before using these reports, you can configure which payroll components will be included. You can also integrate these reports into CFO dashboards.
