At some point you may find you need to adjust how much you charge per hour.
You can do this by going to Manage > Estimate Settings > Main Estimate Settings.

Once in the Main Estimate Settings - you will go to the "Labor Price Estimate" Tab. 

(Highlighted in RED below).

  • GREEN: The "Add Labor Rate" Button is how you can add new Labor rates. (ie: 1 man = $35, 2 men = $60, etc).

  • PURPLE: To edit your current Labor Rate Prices you will change the number in this field. )
    **Keep in mind, if you have an Hourly Rate per truck under the "Fleet" Section, you will want to exclude that from this price. If your Truck pricing is INCLUDED in your Hourly Rate - then you would include this is the price.)**

  • GREY: This would be the base price that would charge for the minimum hours. (for example, if this was set at $500 and the minimum was 3 hours, then for the first 3 hours it would charge $500 and would use the hourly rate for any additional time.)

  • BROWN: To edit your Packing Hourly Rate for each crew size for packing jobs.

  • BLUE: Allows you to select which day of the week the rate would apply to. This way you can have specific rates tied to specific weekdays or weekends.

  • YELLOW: The update button allows you to update any changes made and the trash can button allows you to delete the rate from the system.

  • ORANGE: Turns the Base Price feature on or off

  • BLACK: This section also allows you to make other changes:
    Minimum Hours - The Minimum number of hours you will work a job.
    Minimum Type - Whether Pricing Includes Travel or not.
    Inventory Type - This is what is seen when creating Estimates in the system.
    Inventory Type for IFrame - This is what the Customer will see within the Customer Portal when filling out an Estimate Request.

    Hourly Rate Type - Allows you to change this page to set hourly rates for specific days of the year such as certain holidays.
    IFrame Auto Calculate - Checking this off will auto calculate the price within the Customer Portal when a customer is filling out an estimate Request. Leaving this box Unchecked allows you to double check the Estimate before pricing is given.

    Add Room with Move Size - When turned on it will automatically add rooms to Step 2 on the estimate if you select a Move Size (1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, etc.)

    Sort Inventory Vertically - Allows you to have the inventory be shown in alphabetical order vertically on Step 2 of the estimate (by default it would be horizontally)
    Default Type / Default Floors - These drop downs will allow you to set a Default Room Type when creating estimates, as well as a Default Floor Level.
    So if you generally Move 1 Story Houses, you can set the Default Type to House and the Default floor number to 1.

  • HOT PINK: Allows you to Update or Cancel any changes made.
