Cost Report Enhancements
What It Is
The Cost Report now includes additional columns that provide visibility into scheduled shift times and the difference between scheduled and actual worked hours.
These new fields help organizations compare what was planned versus what actually occurred during a shift.
Why This Feature Matters
Understanding the difference between scheduled and worked hours can help identify attendance issues, overtime trends, and labor cost variances.
This helps:
✅ Compare scheduled hours to actual worked hours
✅ Identify late arrivals and early departures
✅ Improve labor cost reporting
✅ Increase visibility into workforce performance
✅ Support payroll and operational reviews
New Cost Report Columns
Shift Start Time
Displays the scheduled shift start time from the order.
This is different from the existing Start Time column, which displays the worker's actual check-in time.
Shift End Time
Displays the scheduled shift end time from the order.
This is different from the existing End Time column, which displays the worker's actual check-out time.
Hours Difference
Displays the difference between:
- Scheduled hours requested
- Actual hours worked
This allows organizations to quickly see whether a worker worked more or fewer hours than originally scheduled.
How It Works
The Cost Report now includes both scheduled and actual shift information:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Shift Start Time | Scheduled start time from the order |
| Start Time | Actual worker check-in time |
| Shift End Time | Scheduled end time from the order |
| End Time | Actual worker check-out time |
| Hours Difference | Difference between scheduled and worked hours |
