Indirect labor costs are not readily identifiable with a specific task or work order. They are termed indirect costs and are charged to overhead accounts. Use indirect labor in a sentence. At our plant most of our employees are direct labor and a smaller portion are indirect labor that are not directly involved in the production process.
3. Multiply the amount of each worker's direct labor hours by the total amount of workers. Adding to the example above, say there were 100 direct labor workers for the job. Multiply 100 by the number of hours each worked, in this case 80. That comes to 8,000 direct labor hours. 4. Divide the full amount paid for direct labor by the full amount for direct labor hours. Keeping with the example, say you paid $108,000 for direct labor. Divide this amount by the 8,000 direct labor hours worked. The amount of the actual rate per direct labor hour is $13.50.
