If indirect labor change with the change of units of product then indirect labor is a variable cost. If change in the quantity of units has no impact on indirect labor cost then it is a fixed cost.
If direct labor cost creates impact or influences the decision then it is relevant cost but if direct labor is not creating influence or changing in decision then it is irrelevant cost for example direct labor cost remain same irrespective of whatever the decision then direct labor cost is also irrelevant.
