Standardizing Labor Category Tables
Keep your categories consistent across labor category tables to avoid confusion when employees select categories to record time worked.
For example, assume that you have a labor category table called Standard Categories, with the following contents:
| Category | Description | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Principals | 112.00 |
| 2 | Project Managers | 87.00 |
| 3 | Senior Consultant | 95.00 |
| 4 | Senior Architect | 80.00 |
| 5 | Architect | 65.00 |
If you decide to create an additional labor category table, include the same category numbers and descriptions, changing only the rates.
| Category | Description | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Principals | 125.00 |
| 2 | Project Managers | 95.00 |
| 3 | Senior Consultant | 110.00 |
| 4 | Senior Architect | 85.00 |
| 5 | Architect | 75.00 |
