Crew pay for contractors
Pay field crews by the square foot, the lineal foot, the unit or the hour. Aida works out pay from the work that's actually done and costs it to every job, so you know what each job really made.
Few systems handle piece-rate pay. Aida was built for it.

When rates sit in someone's head or a workbook, you find out what a job cost after the crew is paid, and every disputed check costs you an afternoon.
Different rates for every kind of work, every crew and every customer, kept in a spreadsheet only one person understands.
Crews get paid for work that was never invoiced, or invoiced work never gets paid, and nobody notices until month end.
Job costing that leaves out labor until payroll is done tells you a job made money when it didn't.
One record of the work drives the invoice, the crew's pay and the job's profit.
Square foot, lineal foot, unit, job or hour. Set rates by type of work, and by crew or skill level when they differ. Trip charges are included.
When work is completed on a job, Aida works out the crew's pay from the same lines that get invoiced. No retyping, no second list.
Labor lands on the job the moment the work is done, next to materials, so job profit is current, not a payday surprise.
See who did what, when, at what rate and what they were paid, for every job and every trip charge. Disputes take a minute, not an afternoon.
