Labor Cost Budgeting
Keep your labor spend under control while you schedule.
The Budget Bar
At the top of the Schedule view, you see a summary bar:
- Hours: Total scheduled hours vs. Target.
- Wage Cost: Estimated cost based on assigned employee hourly rates.
- % of Sales: If you integrated POS sales data, this shows labor % (e.g., 18%).
Setting Targets
- Click the Gear Icon inside the Budget Bar.
- Set your "Daily Budget" or "Weekly Target Hours".
- As you add shifts, the bar turns Red if you exceed these limits.
