⚙️ Setting Up Additional Details for Technicians
Once a staff member has the Can be allocated to jobs toggle enabled, you’ll unlock additional technician-specific settings as shown below:
📅 Technician Start Date
The Technician Start Date and optional End Date determine the first and last dates the technician will be available to allocate jobs to.
These dates affect scheduling and reporting features in Auxo Workshop.
The technician will only appear in the Diary between these dates.
This also impacts capacity tracking in the Diary.
💰 Labour Hourly Cost
This hourly cost should reflect the actual cost to your business for each hour of a technician’s time (not the rate charged to customers).
Auxo Workshop uses this cost to calculate profitability and margins.
Accurate cost data is essential for the Job Margin features to function correctly.
💡Hot Tip - Niki from Herbert Morton Accountants has offered the following advice for calculating an appropriate labour cost: “a good, simple method to approximate a meaningful cost is to take your average hourly wage for your technicians and add 20%”. The 20% takes into account the additional costs of staffing such annual leave etc."
📅 Working Hours
In this section, you can select the days this technician works and set their start and end times for each day.
This helps Auxo Workshop understand each technician’s availability.
Their working hours are reflected in the Diary and affect your availability for online bookings.
🏖️ Leave
In this section, you can record any leave or events that make the technician unavailable at certain times or days in advance. This information will be reflected in their availability within Auxo for jobs and bookings.
Creating a New Leave Entry:
Click the New Leave button, and the following form will display
On the New Leave form, enter a reason for the leave.
Use the All day toggle to specify if it is an all-day absence (otherwise, a part-day absence is inferred).
Enter the start and end dates for the leave.
If it is a part-day absence, specify the start and end times.
Setting Up Recurring Events:
Click the button labeled Don’t Repeat to change this to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly.
This is useful for entering regular events that impact the technician’s availability, such as lunch breaks or staff meetings.
