Labour lines carry the technician, and reports total the hours billed for each one.
Technicians and labour
Technician hours and commission without timesheets
Every labour line carries a technician, so billed hours and commission add up by themselves. Clock-ins, attendance and payroll sit in the same system.

Weekly hours, commission and payroll.
What it doesn’t do (yet)
- Live job clocks per labour operation are not built in; billed hours come from the labour lines.
- Payroll is basic (allowances, deductions, payslips); keep your accountant for local payroll tax filings.
We would rather you know this before the trial than after.

Scan the codes: questions shop owners ask
TEC-H201How are technician hours counted?
From the labour lines on invoices: each line has hours and a technician, and reports total them.
TEC-H202Can technicians clock in and out?
Yes, on Shop and Fleet: the HR module records attendance with clock-in and clock-out.
TEC-H203Can I compare billed hours with clocked hours?
Yes. Use the service staff report for billed hours and attendance for hours present.
TEC-P204Can I pay commission?
Yes. Set commission rates and read the totals from reports; payroll can include it.
TEC-P205Does it run payroll?
Shop and Fleet include basic payroll with allowances, deductions and payslips.
TEC-A206Can technicians see prices?
Only if their role allows it. Hide costs and margins from bay users.
TEC-A207Can technicians use their phones?
Yes. AutoShop POS runs in a mobile browser.
TEC-P208Is this on the Bay plan?
Bay includes technicians on labour lines and the hours report; attendance and payroll are on Shop and Fleet.
