Setting up labor distribution and salary encumbrance

This chapter explains setting up labor distribution and salary encumbrances in Lawson Grant Management. A large portion of the total award amount an organization receives from a sponsor is used to pay the staff assigned to complete the work funded by the grant. Setting up labor distribution templates will let you create salary encumbrances, or commitments, for amounts that will be paid to an employee over the life of the grant. You can also use the labor distribution templates to create distributions of actual salary expenses to grants and departments for employees working on them.
