Time & Labor Tracking

FreeMaint tracks labor time and costs on every work order for cost analysis and capacity planning.

Logging Labor

1. Open the work order
2. Navigate to Time & Costs
3. Click 'Add Labor Entry'
4. Select technician, enter hours and hourly rate
5. Add the date
6. Total cost calculated automatically

You can also log time against a subcontractor or vendor instead of an internal user — switch the 'Logged for' selector to Subcontractor and pick the vendor.

Each labor entry has a time type: Intervention or Travel. Travel time is tracked separately but excluded from the asset intervention-time KPI (MTTR); only intervention (hands-on) time feeds it.
