The Job Costing option for UltraTime provides an integrated and seamless method to collect, process and report on job costing data in addition to the standard time and attendance data.
Job Cost data collection is performed in the same manner as time and attendance data collection. The employee simply presses the desired function key, scans their badge followed by scanning the job number of the job they are about to work on.

| Job Step | The job can be subdivided into the steps that are required to complete the job. Labor hours, labor dollars, as well as materials, and material costs can be charged to an individual job step to provide high accountability. |
