Payroll - Job Costing

SUGGESTED

If anyone can offer suggestions on this I would greatly appreciate it. We issue payroll at our company bi-weekly. After payroll has been processed (we use an outside payroll company), I then come into sage and enter all the employees hours and job cost their time to the various jobs and work orders (we have the service module - but its the same thing as just posting it to a job if you don't have that). The issue I am running into is that we cannot see the labor until after two weeks. That is a serious lag for us when we want to review work orders that are completed in just one day. Does anyone have any better way of posting payroll to the various jobs or job costing their payroll? I thought that maybe the daily payroll would help, but again, it doesn't actually job cost anything. Nothing actually gets job costed until I hit the final compute. Help??

I tried calling support and she recommended making sure we input the hours the employee is supposed to work when we enter the work order but again that doesn't help us. We want to track how much time they actually are spending out there and see which jobs we are making or losing money, etc. So seeing the real costs.
