(this number needs to INCLUDE LABOR BURDEN ie. payroll taxes, workers comp, vacation pay, benefits, bonuses, etc) Keep in mind this is only for employees that work on billable jobs that generate revenue.

    Now, how many of those hours you entered above were UNBILLABLE? Meaning they were on tasks around the shop, loading/unloading, training/meetings, callbacks on projects, etc. If you do not have any of this recorded, take your best educated guess. A common average we see is about 5% of your hours for your Field Labor employees that you entered above are UNBILLABLE.
