Adding labor to your Work Order is an integral part of completing your Work Order. Posting and tracking your labor is an important feature of the Work Order. Labor can also be added by clocking in and out of the Work Order.

This article applies to + Basic, + Professional, and + Enterprise.

Labor hours, rate, and other elements in this field will not be posted until the Work Order is complete.

1.  Create a new Work Order or open an already existing Work Order.

If creating a new Work Order, all required fields must be filled in and then saved before you can proceed to Step 2.
