Labor Expenses. In the majority of situations, projects will cause a company s labor requirements to change. This change could be a positive effect that increases available productive time, or there could be a decrease in employees production time depending upon the practice. When computing labor expenses, the Tier 1 costs could be significant. Labor expense calculations can be simplistic or comprehensive.
