Gearbox User Labour Rates
Overview
Gearbox allows Mechanic Labour hours to be recorded on Service, Repair, Tyre and Inspection workorders. The hourly rates are set individually for each Gearbox user. The hourly rate is for the workshop charge out rate, not payroll rates. Labour Hours can be enabled to appear on workorder reports and are collated across all workorders and users in the Labour Hours Report.
You will need Administrator permissions in order to configure labour rates for Gearbox users
