In Weplanify, the **History** tab of the Day labourers screen sums up what day labour cost over the chosen month.

## Steps

1. In **Day labourers → History**, choose the month.
2. Read the cash out and working days, compared with the previous month.
3. Look at the **By site** and **By job** breakdown.
4. Further down, each day: state, people, amount and payment; a click opens its detail.

## Good to know

- Cost only counts validated days; a day still to validate is estimated ("≈").
- This is what leaves the cash box: if you declare your day labourers, add the contributions required in your country.
- These costs also feed the [cost analysis](https://weplanify.io/docs/couts.analyse?lang=en).
