Bypassing labor distribution

Situations can exist where a project employee who is eligible for labor distribution does not have pay distributed for a labor period. For example, the employee is on a leave of absence, FLMA, or DTO, or was not working on a grant-sponsored project for that period.

To avoid starting and stopping assignments, the Change Zero Labor To Processed action is available to change the project assignment from entered to processed. Optionally, a comment can be added to include why the employee has zero actual effort and no labor distributions for the labor period. The labor period must have a status of entered with no actual percentages specified.

  1. Sign in as Project Accountant or Project Resource.
  2. For Project Accountant, select Project Management > Labor Distribution. Select the By Employee tab or the By Period tab.
    For Project Resource, select Labor Distribution or select Employees Labor Distribution and Redistribution.
  3. Open the employee labor period.
  4. Select Actions > Create Comments.
  5. Specify the Subject and Comment, and additional fields to include why labor distribution is bypassed.
  6. Click Submit.
  7. Select Actions > Change Zero Labor To Processed.

    The updated status is displayed for the Project Accountant role. The period is not displayed for the Project Resource role. Only open records are displayed for the Project Resource role.
