Manage General Labor Categories

Use the Manage General Labor Categories screen to set up codes and related descriptions for the General Labor Categories (GLC) you want to track.

This table contains the seventh level of defaults that is imported when a project is entered on the timesheet line. The GLC Code is a required field on each timesheet line. If you want to change the general labor category code on a timesheet line, you must select the Allow Edit of GLC check box on the Configure Labor Settings screen. The Labor Category code is one of the key fields on the Manage Wage Determination Rates screen, which contains hourly rates and usage codes for determining the employee's hourly pay rate. You can also use this screen to link project labor categories with general labor categories.

Note: You must set up project labor categories in Costpoint Project Setup to link project labor categories with general labor categories, and before you can set up wage determination rates. You can change or add to this table any time, and you can establish an unlimited number of codes and descriptions.
