Knowledge

Construction job costing.

Crew Time captures hours against jobs and cost codes. Approved timesheets land in Employment Hero with that context, where your payroll team reviews cost allocation. Project Payroll does not run payroll or post payroll actuals.

What gets costed

What is the full cost of an hour?

Labour that looks cheap in the ledger is usually labour with its on-costs somewhere else.

  • Wages

    Ordinary, overtime and penalty hours at the interpreted rate.

  • All-purpose allowances

    Costed to the same code as the hours that triggered them.

  • Super

    12% on OTE, as an on-cost against the job, weekly now rather than quarterly.

  • Leave accrual

    Annual, personal and RDO accrual accrued to the job being worked.

  • Portable long service

    CoINVEST, QLeave and equivalents attributed per hour worked.

  • Workers comp

    Premium apportioned by wages per job so the cost sits where the risk was.

Job costing questions

Why not just export payroll to the accounting system and cost it there?

Because the ledger sees a total, not a clause. Costing from interpreted payroll means each allowance and on-cost lands on the cost code the hours came from, without a reconciliation step.

Is estimated cost the same as actual cost?

No. Site hours give context, while payroll actuals depend on the finalised Employment Hero pay run and your accounting setup.

Can we see cost before the week closes?

You can review Crew Time hours during the week. Final payroll costs are reviewed in Employment Hero and your accounting system.

Does it write back to Procore?

Do not assume a write-back. Review the Employment Hero and Procore accounting workflow during setup before relying on cost transfers.
