The system automatically categorizes work based on the work order type and warranty eligibility status. When a technician clocks into a job, the system checks if the repair is covered under warranty and applies the appropriate labor rates and billing codes. Technicians can also manually split time between warranty and billable work when performing mixed repairs.

Yes, the system supports multiple time entry methods including shop floor kiosks, desktop computers, barcode scanners, and traditional time clocks. Mobile devices offer the most convenience and features, but aren't required. All methods sync to the same central database for consistent reporting and management visibility.

The system maintains multiple rate tables including OEM warranty rates, customer billing rates, internal cost rates, and overtime multipliers. Rates can vary by technician skill level, certification status, and job type. The appropriate rate is automatically applied based on the work being performed and contractual agreements with vendors or customers.

Key metrics include wrench time (hands-on productive work), efficiency vs standard repair times, first-time fix rates, comeback percentages, utilization rates, and revenue per hour. The system also tracks warranty recovery rates, average repair times by job type, and technician skill development progress to support continuous improvement.

Overtime is automatically calculated based on configured rules including daily and weekly thresholds, holiday rates, and shift differentials. The system can handle complex union agreements and state-specific regulations. Managers receive alerts when technicians approach overtime limits, and reports show overtime costs by department, job type, and time period.

Time entries can be edited with proper authorization and audit trails. The system maintains a complete history of all changes including who made them, when, and why. Supervisor approval is required for edits after payroll cutoff. Original entries are preserved for compliance and warranty claim documentation purposes.
