Labor Utilization Subtask

Use this screen to indicate how much of an employee’s time will be sold as direct labor, which rate pool to use, and for the amount remaining, which cost pool to use for indirect labor.

The budget tool uses a factor approach to account for fluctuations in how much of an individual’s available time should be budgeted to direct contracts over the course of a fiscal year.

The past contract utilization patterns of individuals can be audited and used as the basis for the current budget cycle.

The following information displays in the Labor Utilization subtask.
