Abstract
The purpose of labour cost control is to provide a comparison of an actual cost with a standard cost in order to measure productivity and identify opportunities for improvement. The design of the labour cost-control system will depend on the characteristics of the job. Most jobs at a mine will be in one of two categories of jobs; either the production output will vary according to the labour input or the production will remain constant irrespective of minor variations in the labour input.
