Use your agreed rates on every daily ticket.
These public ranges are a benchmark. SubTrack stores the rates you agreed with the client on a project rate sheet. Crews apply those rates to labor, equipment, materials, and subcontractors on the daily ticket. The same figures carry into reporting and the billing documents you send.
General laborer rates FAQ
What is a typical general laborer charge-out rate?
General laborer charge-out is the most-used T&M labor line on civil tickets. It is not a pipelayer or a skilled laborer. OT rules belong on your sheet so the field does not invent them. Open a region page for the local number, or a region plus general laborer page for a single market.
Is the general laborer figure a wage or a charge-out?
A labor charge-out, not a wage. Burden, overhead, and margin are already in the published range. Overtime rules belong on the project rate sheet.
Can I bill the central general laborer reference?
Not from this page alone. The central value is a public check, not a measured market median. SubTrack rate sheets are where your class, standby, and OT actually live.
