In most companies, the ratio of direct labor to indirect labor is about 3 to 1. The better companies get closer to 4 to 1. In most companies direct labor spends about 70% of its time actually working on making the product, with the rest spent on meetings, downtime, waiting for parts, paid breaks, and other things that do not create value.
The cost of direct labor is generally considered to be the cost of regular hours, shift differentials, and overtime hours worked by employees, as well as the related amounts of payroll taxes.
