Assign GLCs to Employees

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to assign (GLCs) general labor categories to specific employees.  

The Assign GLCs to Employees screen is an optional application that is used to validate GLCs when you enter timesheets.

A GLC is similar to a job title.  "Accounting Clerk I" and "Software Engineer" might represent GLC descriptions, for example.

When you created records in the Employee Salary Information screen (People\Maintain\Employee), you assigned a GLC to each employee.

If you did not establish any GLC timesheet defaults nor access the Assign GLCs to Employees screen, it is the GLC you enter in the Employee Salary Information record that defaults onto a timesheet line.  

You can use the Assign GLCs to Employees screen to designate the use of specific GLCs. This designation, however, does not prevent you from saving records that include GLC assignments not referenced in this screen.  For example, in the Enter Timesheets screen, a warning message displays when you attempt to save a timesheet record and the GLC charged has not been assigned to this employee.  The warning message does not prevent you from saving the record.

When should I use this screen?

You must initialize the General Labor Categories (People\Configure\Labor) and Employee User Flow screens (People\Maintain\Employee) before using this application.

In order to change a GLC on a timesheet line, you must have selected the Allow GLC Change on Timesheet checkbox in the Labor Settings screen.

Note:  Since the Labor Settings screen is not available in this web version, you must make settings changes in the client/server version.

After you complete your settings modifications, you must return to the web version and access the Reload Global Settings screen (Administration\Utilities\System Administration).  This utility establishes continuity between the web and client/server environments.

Select the appropriate checkbox and click the Action icon to execute synchronization.
