Features / Labour Costs
Know what the labour cost today, not at month end.
Daily workforce cost built automatically from who was on site and what they're paid, by day, by month and over the whole job.
Labour Costs is included in Sitro Pro, from £24.08 a month billed yearly. Start a 14-day free trial, no sales call.
Labour cost shouldn't be a surprise at valuation.
Labour is usually totted up from timesheets weeks later, long after anything can be done about it. Sitro works it out every day from the people already on your roster and your rates.
How Labour Costs works
Set your rates once
Per trade or per worker, with a rate history so changes over time are kept, and per-shift overrides.
Let it fill itself in
Daily records are generated from your roster and rates, and re-sync automatically when attendance changes in Daily Allocation.
Watch the totals
Day, month and summary views, with the last 7 days, this month, all time, and a breakdown by trade.

Labour Costs questions
Do I have to enter costs every day?
No. Records are generated from your roster and rates, and update automatically when attendance changes in Daily Allocation.
Can rates change during the job?
Yes. Rates keep a history, so a new rate applies from its date without changing past costs.
Can different workers in the same trade have different rates?
Yes. Set a rate per trade and override it per worker.
Does it feed the budget?
Yes. The Budget Dashboard tracks labour spend automatically from Labour Costs.
