New Labour is used to create different labour accounts for different
technicians. You may wish to charge a lower labour rate for an apprentice for
example. Having separate labour accounts for all the technicians is desired
(though not necessary) as G-E tracks the labour each technician charges and
identifies technicians to jobs. Labour is treated as a Global part and is stored
in the global library by default.
Note:
If a different labour account is not created
for each technician, the "Technicians Performance" function (Workshop >
Technicians Performance) will be unable to determine the hours charged for each
technician.
To add a New Labour account, select Parts
from the Main Menu. From the drop down menu, select New
Labour. The New Labour
dialogue is displayed.
Enter a search code for the labour account
into the Code field. If the technician's name is "David
Jones", a good labour search code would be LABD. (Labour, David), LABDJ (Labour
David Jones). When writing a work order, a
search for LAB will return a list of all your technicians from which you make
your selection.
Enter an appropriate identification for this technician
in the Employee Id field. The text you enter here will print
on invoices to give a quick reference as to which technician carried out the
work. (The technician's initials are normally sufficient for this).
Enter
the hourly rate this technician is charged at in the Hourly
Rate field. G-E will use this figure to calculate labour charges when this
technician's labour is charged on an invoice. G-E will add GST to the labour
cost charged.
Enter any notes about this
technician in the Notes field. This could be their tax file
number, date they commenced employment etc.
Click Ok or press
Enter to save the labour account. Clicking Cancel or pressing Esc aborts the New Labour
procedure without saving.
