Entering Labor Costs

Labor Logbook

To open the Sample Labor Log, click on the MACNAIL menu (McN, located on the far right part of the menu bar) and choose *Labor Log. The MacNail construction accounting software uses the Labor Logbook as a record of the hours worked by each employee.

NOTE-- In 2000, MacNail was replaced by Goldenseal construction accounting software. Goldenseal is an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features. Goldenseal uses a similar system for labor cost tracking, with Labor Hours records.

This worksheet is designed for information that you get from employee time cards. See page 79 for help in setting them up.

We have already entered a few items into the Labor Log. Most of the columns of the Labor Log are handled similarly to those in the Checkbook Ledger.
