Adding jobs

  1. Select Maintenance > Labor Metrics > Job.
  2. Click Create New Entry.
  3. Specify this information:
    Job
    Specify the name of the job you are adding.
    Description
    Specify a description of the job.
    Start Date
    Select the start date of the period for which the job is valid from the calendar lookup.
    End Date
    Select the end date of the period for which the job is valid from the calendar lookup.
    Labor Metric Security
    Select the labor metric security group to apply to this job from the lookup. You must select a security group to create a job. See Labor metric security.
    Preferred Keyholder
    Select this check box to indicate that employees in this job hold keys to the location.
    Job Shift Offset
    Specify a value the application uses to schedule the shift start time for the specific job. For example, cashiers might be required to arrive 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled shift begins (when they actually begin servicing customers on the floor) to perform setup tasks such as counting the cash in their drawer.
    Tip
    Select this check box to indicate that the job is tipped. If a job is tipped, select one of these tip calculation types from the Tip Calculation drop-down list:
    • Inferred: Calculates tips as a percentage of the total sales, instead of a direct amount. The employee only enters the sales amount for a shift (or this information would come from the POS system) and the application calculates the tip amount based on the specified percentage. If you select this type of tip calculation, you must specify the percentage in the Inferred Tip % field.
    • Indirect: Distributes tips to “back room” employees. They do not directly receive the tips from the customers, but a portion of the tips that the “front room” staff receives is distributed to them.
    • Actual: The employee enters (or the POS system sends) the specific tip amount for the shift.
    Inferred Tip %
    Specify the percentage of total sales that is to be calculated as tips.

    Tipping functionality enables employers to keep track of tipped versus not-tipped jobs and the tip amounts employees receive working at those jobs. The tip amounts are either entered by the employees using the timesheet, mobility, or ETM, or they are automatically passed to the application from a POS system.

    Employees who work a tipped job must count their tips as income and certain rules must be applied. The employees’ pay rate is adjusted based on the tip rules.

  4. Click Save.
    The Job Rate, Job Skill, Job Set, Job Reader Groups, Job Team, and Associated Job sections are displayed.
  5. Specify this information in the Job Rate section:
    Level
    Specify the job rate level.
    Rate $/Hr
    Specify the job rate in dollars per hour.
    Effective Date
    Select the date from which this job is effective from the calendar lookup.
  6. In the Job Skill section, select the skills to assign to this job from the Skill lookup.
  7. In the Job Reader Groups section, select the reader groups to assign to this job from the Reader Group drop-down list.
    You must select a reader group if you want the job to be downloaded to specific readers (ones that belong to an associated reader group). Jobs without reader group entries will not be downloaded to readers and will therefore not be available to an employee for swiping.
  8. If your implementation includes the MVS module, in the Associated Job section, select any associated jobs for this job and specify the rank for each associated job.
    Associated jobs are considered equivalent to the parent job for scheduling purposes. Jobs with a lower rank are given priority when an employee is qualified for multiple associated jobs of the same parent job.
  9. Click Save.
  10. If your implementation includes the LFSO module, then specify this information in the Job Team section for cost estimation:
    Team
    Select the team that is associated with the job from the lookup.
    Daily OT Threshold
    Specify the number of hours in a day that an employee must work before receiving overtime.
    Weekly OT Threshold
    Specify the number of hours in a week that an employee must work before receiving overtime.
    Average Hourly Rate
    Specify the employee's average hourly pay rate for this job.
    OT Multiplier
    Specify the number by which the employee's pay rate is multiplied for hours worked as overtime.
    OT Increment
    Specify the number that the application uses to estimate the overtime cost for the job, where:

    Base Rate * OT Multiplier + OT Increment = OT Cost
