Understanding Cost Accounting

Cost accounting is crucial for identifying all costs related to the production process, monitoring financial performance, and measuring the return on investment (ROI) of various projects. Tracking labor costs is a critical data point in cost accounting, as most businesses hope to keep payroll expenses between 15% to 30% of gross revenue.

Efficient labor tracking provides fiscal clarity, improves production, and helps keep costs low. However, there are many factors that may influence how you assign custom fields to employees to tie labor to locations, jobs, and more.  

Exploring Various Labor Costs

In the context of cost accounting, labor costs can be categorized as follows:

• Fixed Labor Costs: These costs remain constant over a specific period and include salaries of employees whose pay remains consistent.
• Variable Labor Costs: These costs fluctuate based on production levels and may include wages of hourly employees or temporary staff hired to meet varying business demands.
• Direct Labor Costs: This refers to costs directly associated with employees involved in the production process, such as manufacturing line workers, drivers, and construction workers.
• Indirect Labor Costs: Indirect labor costs encompass salaries of employees who aren't directly involved in production, like HR staff, project managers, and administrative roles.
