    idletime means: Idle hours are not productive there are costs by machine breakdown,lack of material availability,power failure etc……Idle hours are not good for the company,therefore company always try to reduce the number of idle hours.In calculating individual efficiency variance idle hours should be deducted from total hours worked in order to derive active hours.(Standard costing)

    employee may get idle time when there is a machine breakout, inventory stock out, any f this kind, which are not in control of employee. company have to pay the employee for this idle time. when it comes to accounting, this idle time is not taken to direct cost of product.
