Price labor by bodies

Not all labor is billed the same way. Design and production time is natural to price by the hour. But a breakdown crew or a setup team is often easier to think about as bodies: four people to strike the room, not some number of hours you have to estimate. The scorecard handles both.

Before you start

  • You are on the event’s scorecard, in the Labor section of the Cost & hours worksheet. See Cost an event.

Steps

  1. In the Labor section, find the crew rows priced by head, your breakdown and setup crews. Instead of an hours field, these take a count of people.

    The scorecard worksheet; the Labor section shows hourly rows and headcount rows priced per person Screenshot from a demo workspace; data illustrative.

  2. Enter how many people. The row costs it at the per-head rate, showing the rate as a per-person amount and the count as person or people.

  3. Keep the hourly rows for design and production time, where hours at a rate is the honest way to cost it.

Good to know

  • Two ways, one worksheet. Whether a row is priced by the hour or by the head is set up for you per crew type, so you just enter the number that fits: hours for design, bodies for breakdown.
  • The per-head rate is yours. Like every rate in Florio, the amount each crew member costs is your studio’s configured number, not a value baked into the app.
