Setting Up Business Unit Constants

Access the Business Unit Constants Revisions form.

Tax Area-Payroll

Enter a value that specifies a taxing authority. The system uses the value that you specify as the default value for all time entries for this Cost Center.

Labor Dist Method (labor distribution method)

Enter a value that controls whether the labor costs include a flat burden for payroll taxes and benefits. Values are:

0: The flat burden factor is always 1.0000, so the resulting amount for the flat burden is zero.

1: The flat burden factor is always greater than 1.0000, so the labor costs include a flat burden.

Labor Dist Multiplier (labor distribution multiplier)

Enter a multiplier to load direct labor costs with burden. For example, a factor of 1.32 will load every dollar of labor cost with 32 cents worth of burden.

Certified Job (Y/N)

Enter a value that specifies whether to include information about this job in certified payroll reports used for governmental reporting. Values are:

Y: Include job information on certified payroll reports.

N: Do not include job information. This value is the default.

Pay Cycle Group Code

Enter a code from UDC table 06/PG that indicates a pay cycle group. If you enter a pay cycle group code here, the system processes only those timecards whose business unit has that pay cycle group assigned in the business unit constants.

If you use the GeoCoder, the system uses the address information for the business unit to determine the GeoCode for the Tax Area - Payroll field. The system automatically populates this field if only one GeoCode is available.
