Defining default labor allocation details

After the labor metrics elements have been defined, each non-positive time reporting employee’s default labor allocation must be defined (see below for more information on positive time reporting). This definition is entered in the Employee Labor Allocation section that is located on the Employee Override page.

For example, an employee can be allocated to work 50% of the time as a General Assembler and 50% of the time as a Clerk.

Positive time reporting

Positive time reporting employees use the out-of-the-box default labor allocations, such as UAT, BRK, and so on. Each day, they must actively report their time; otherwise, no time is recorded and subsequently they are not paid.

Non-positive time reporting employees require you to set up their default labor allocations, such as JOB, DEPT, and so on. These employees will be paid automatically if all their reported time fall into the non-exception category. Exempt employees often fall into this category.
