Employees Using Default Labor Schedules Report

The Employees Using Default Labor Schedules report provides a listing of employees and assignments for which the organization level default labor schedule is to be used. The report is based on selected organizations, elements, and a time period.

Employee Labor Schedule Report

The Employee Labor Schedule Report provides a listing of employee labor schedules for a particular period of time and for selected organizations. The report identifies labor schedules that need correction before payroll is imported into Labor Distribution. Labor schedules with totals greater than 100% should be corrected to avoid payroll transactions going to a suspense account.

Users have the option of running the regular report for all of the selected organizations or the exception report for selected organizations. The exception report provides details for the selected organizations that have schedules equalling less or greater than 100%.

Organization Default Labor Schedule Report

The Organization Default Labor Schedule Report provides a listing of organization labor schedules for a particular period of time. The report also identifies the labor schedules that require correction before payroll is imported into Labor Distribution. Each labor schedule should equal 100% for each day. If the total is less than 100%, the remainder goes to a suspense account. Labor schedule with totals greater than 100% should be corrected.

The report can be run in either Regular or Exception mode. In Regular mode, the report provides schedule details and a schedule summary. In Exception mode, the report provides organization schedules with a Default Labor Schedule less than 100% and organization schedules with a Labor Schedule greater than 100%.
