Rates
Paycheck wage hits the bank. True hourly cost adds payroll, time off, benefits, and the truck. You charge is what the client pays. Jobs link here.
Set the company rate on Rates. Jobs just ask how many people and for how long.

One company rate per man-hour. New jobs copy the default headcount. Change people on the job — not the book — unless the company rate itself changed.

2 people × 8h × $75.00
True hourly cost
Not a mystery number. Start with paycheck wage, add the government, time off, benefits, and a truck line. That total is what an hour actually costs you. People call it “loaded.” The floor uses it. The wage does not.

CPP, EI, WSIB, the rest
Employer side. Not the deduction on the stub. Ontario starting point is a start — WSIB is yours. Apply writes true hourly cost.
Employer share, not the stub deduction.
Usually 1.4× the employee rate.
Construction is not 1%. Look at your rate sheet.
Not fuel. Fuel is on the job.
