Job onset and job conclusion events and the employee code associated with each job code as well as time clock events including clock in and clock out data are used to provide segments in a timeline, the segments bounded by trip onset events. Lift time within a segment is derived by adding a fork lowering time equal to any fork raising time to a laden time present within the segment.
