Use this screen to define labor locations/locals. Labor locations/locals are the specific places where your company conducts business.
The purpose of this screen is to establish labor locations/locals that can be assigned to employees. This designation allows you to group and sort data in the People domain.
Initialize this screen after you set up the Labor Settings screen. You should define entries in this screen as part of your initial setup or any time you need to create a new labor location/local.
How does the system use data from this screen?
Labor locations/locals are referenced in the Employee User Flow, Overtime Rules by Location, Pay Type Restrictions, Union Profiles, Union Crew Assignment, Wage Determination Rates, and Wage Determination, and Fringe Handling screens.
Can I change or delete labor locations/locals from this screen?
After you have saved a record, you can edit the Description field, even if you have assigned the labor location/local to an employee record. You cannot, however, modify text in the Labor Location Code/Local ID field. This field is non-editable.
If you have not assigned a labor location/local to an employee record, you can delete the code from this screen. You cannot delete the code from this screen if it has been assigned to an employee record because dependent data exists.

Note: This field will be labeled Local ID if you selected the Enable Union Functionality checkbox in the Labor Settings screen. If you did not select this checkbox, this field will be labeled Labor Location Code. Your setup of the Labor Settings screen has a significant affect on the appearance of the fields in this screen and the function of this data throughout Costpoint. For example, if you selected the Require Labor Location on Timesheet checkbox in the Labor Settings screen, you must complete the Labor Location Code/Local ID field on each timesheet line. You cannot save timesheets unless this field contains data. |
Enter up to 30 alphanumeric characters to describe the labor location/local ID.

This utility establishes continuity between the web and client/server environments. Select the appropriate checkbox and click the Action icon to execute synchronization. |
