Payday and labor analytics (Finance System)

The short version: The Finance System turns crew hours into payday — and then tells you what the labor actually cost. It is payroll-ready, not a payroll processor: MoveClerk owns everything up to the handoff, and never touches taxes.

Payday in five taps

1. Tap the payday notification

   "Payday: 6 crew, $4,182.40 ready for review."

2. Review the pre-filled hours

   Every segment is already job-attributed from clock-ins, drive time separated, foreman-approved. Anything missing or unapproved gets called out — never silently dropped.

3. Check per-person totals

   Anyone over 40 hours shows the blended-rate OT line. Mid-week OT warnings already fired, so Friday holds no surprises.

4. One totals screen

   Per-person gross, OT lines, tips, per diem — and the total cash leaving the account, employer burden visible. Nothing hidden until after submit.

5. Approve — done

   The pay run locks, timesheets lock, pay stubs generate. The neutral export is one more tap. Correction runs are free and unlimited — the foreman always texts Friday night.

The five analytics

1. Labor-budget meter

   "This job is at 68% of its labor budget" — live, during the job day, against the quoted labor. If the quote has no labor figure, the meter hides instead of guessing.

2. Estimator accuracy

   Who systematically under- or over-prices labor, trended across finished jobs. Unsettled jobs never count.

3. Overtime trends

   Who earned OT, in which weeks, and what it cost.

4. Crew cost per job

   True labor cost with drive time included — the number that decides whether a job actually made money.

5. Cash-flow timing

   Crew pay goes out Friday — when does the shipper's balance clear? One timeline shows pay-outs against clearings: the funding gap, not just the pay numbers.

Paid / still owed

The ledger tracks every pay run per person: mark it paid or still owed with a note ("cash Friday", "check #412"). Your crew see their own rows only — never anyone else's.

Taxes — what we don't do

The Finance System never gives tax advice and never files anything: no withholding, no W-2/1099 filing, no direct deposit. The export carries gross pay only. For tax questions, talk to your accountant.
