There are three options for paying your crew members for labor: Hourly, Percentage, and Piece Rate. Both Hourly and Percentage are straightforward. Piece Rate, however, is a more complicated method of paying your crews.
What is Piece Rate Compensation?
If you choose Piece Rate, your crew member will be paid a percentage of your configured 1-man hourly rate for the job. If the 1-man rate for the day of the job is $100, and you configure the crew member to receive a 10% Piece Rate percentage, he would receive $10 per hour.
Consider this example:
Joe's labor settings are Piece Rate and 10%. The job's 1-man hourly rate for the day is $100. The billed time for the job is 5 hours. Joe would receive $50: 10% of $100 times 5 hours.
