Overhead Labor OVERHEAD  LABOR  is  not  considered  to  be productive  labor  because  it  does  not  contribute directly  or  indirectly  to  the  completion  of  an  end product.  Included  is  labor  that  must  be  performed regardless  of  the  assigned  mission. LABOR CODES During   the   planning   and   scheduling   of   a construction   project,   each   phase   of   the   project considered as direct labor is given an identifying code. Because  there  are  many  types  of  construction  projects involving different operations, codes for direct labor reporting can vary from one activity to another. For example, excavating and setting forms can be assigned code  R-15;  laying  block,  code  R-  16;  and  installing bond  beams,  code  R-17.  You  will  use  direct  labor codes to report each hour spent by each of your crew members   during   each   workday   on   assigned construction  tasks. Codes are also used to report time spent by crew members in the following categories: indirect labor, military  operations  and  readiness,  disaster  control operations, training, and overhead labor. The codes shown  in  figure  1-3  are  used  at  most  activities  to indicate  time  spent  in  these  categories. TIMEKEEPING CARDS Your  report  is  submitted  on  a  Daily  Labor Distribution  Report  form  (timekeeping  card),  like  the one   shown   in   figure   1-4.   The   form   provides   a breakdown  by  man-hours  of  the  activities  in  the various  labor  codes  for  each  crew  member  for  each PRODUCTIVE LABOR. Productive labor includes all labor that directly contributes to the accomplishment of the Naval Mobile  Construction  Battalion,  including  construction  operations  and  readiness,  disaster  recovery  operations,  and  training.
