Outside sales staff and estimators who visit job sites but don’t perform the work. Cheap like clerical, with the same audit scrutiny about what those employees actually do on site.

- Collectors visiting customers
- Messengers in some states

Real-world example
An estimator who measures roofs from the ground and sells jobs is 8742; if he gets on the roof, the conversation changes.
⚠️ Common audit mistake Estimators who "help out" on installs. Time records protect the cheap rate.
