Configure Labor Settings
Use the Configure Labor Settings screen to control several labor-related system-wide features.
You can turn certain features on and off by selecting (or not selecting) the appropriate check box. You can use this screen to establish data related to work hours in the year, employee ID length, minimum hourly rate, standard rates and related account, default timesheet cycle, workers' comp and pay type, posting account data, and wage determination. You can also select the method that is used to default the effective bill date during timesheet entry or import. This is the eighth level of defaults imported when a project is entered on the timesheet line. If you enter any of the default fields on the Link Project Labor Categories to Projects, Manage Employee Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults, Manage Labor-Group Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults, Link GLC to Project PLC subtask of the Link Project Labor Categories to Projects screen, Manage Project Timesheet Defaults, Manage Employee Information screen (Default subtask), or the Manage General Labor Categories screens, they are used instead of the data entered here.
Initialize this screen before entering any labor-related data into Costpoint.
This screen has two tabs:
- Employee Options: Use the options in this tab to designate the work hours in a year, the employee ID length, the minimum hourly rate, the validation method for employee class, the default timesheet cycle, the default workers' compensation code, and the default pay type.
- Timesheet Options: Use the fields in this tab to control timesheet entry or import functionality.
