How do I log hours against a job?

ComputerOpen Team, then Log hours, pick the person, the date, the hours and, if you like, the job they were on. The button appears once someone on the team has an Hourly Rate pay rule.
PhoneOpen Team. Log hours (shown once someone has an Hourly Rate pay rule).

Hours are how labour reaches the numbers. An hourly pay rule turns logged hours into wages; hours logged against a job become that job's labour cost, so its margin stops saying unknown. Hours with no job are allowed — shop time, a day of estimates — and count toward the person's pay without landing on any one job. A crew member can also time a visit instead of remembering it: on the job in My Jobs or on the Calendar, tap Start timer when the work starts and Stop when it ends, then log the timed span. A span counts toward pay and job cost only once it is logged, and it logs once. If a payroll expense for the same crew is also attached to the job, each person's labour is counted once — the larger of the wages paid and the hours logged — and the job's costs say how much was counted once. DeskOps does not track location.
