Labour Cost
• Wages and fringe benefits are to be added into payroll.
• The hourly rate can also involve with combination of skilled, unskilled and supervisory staffs where a mix of different labours and staffs to carry out the
works.
• Overtime or public holidays is to be considered in determining the built up of the hourly labour rates.
The labor rate is the cost per hour for the craftsmen on the project. To determine any craft
rate, Steven starts with the basic wages and fringe benefits.
