Job Costing Module (UltraJob)

The Job Costing option for UltraTime Enterprise provides an integrated and seamless method to collect, process and report on job costing data in addition to the standard time and attendance information.

Job Cost data collection is performed in the same manner as time and attendance data collection. The employee presses the desired function key, scans their badge and then scans the job number and job step of the job they are working on.

The UltraJob system provides two primary data fields for summarization of data:

Job Number

The job number is the primary job number identifier. This field
typically has a maximum length of ten characters and may be alphanumeric. Employees can key or scan the appropriate job number when they start or stop work on a particular job.

Job Step

The job step allows the job to be subdivided into the steps that are required to complete the job. Labor hours, labor dollars, as well as materials, and material costs can be charged to an individual job step to provide high accountability.

Job Cost Accounting

UltraJob provides job cost accounting in four major areas:

Labor Distribution

Provides distribution of labor hours charged to a given job number and job step.

Labor Cost Distribution

Provides distribution of actual labor dollar costs including overtime, premium, shift differential, and special union payroll rules to a job number and job step.

Material Distribution

Provides distribution of material usage to job number and job step.

Material Cost Distribution

Provides distribution of material costs to job number and job step.
