(Total non work time) 30 days. Total days available for work 230 days. Next you have to determine your actual billable time. In most settings, the actual billable time will average 6 hours out of every 8, due to cancellations, no shows, or other problems. So: Available time = 230 days =1840 hrs/yr. Billable time/day = 6/8 =1380 hrs/yr.
Dealership technicians are usually paid according to a method called flat rate.. When a job is dispatched to a technician, the clock starts. If an operation calls for a time frame of two hours, then the labor will be 2X the shop's hourly rate. If the technician is proficient at this particular operation and can do it in half the time, the customer still pays for two hours of labor and the tech earns two hours of pay for one hour of work. Conversely, if the tech does the job in more than the allowed time, the customer still pays two hours of labor.
