Labor Distributions

The Labor Distributions button opens a screen to view and/or configure the employee organization unit, job class and/or position assignments. These assignments are used for scheduling, time and attendance calculations, rules processing, etc.

An employee can have multiple effective alternate and alternate home assignments, but can have only one primary home assignment with the same effective date time frame.

An employee can be scheduled for any of the positions in his/her Labor Distribution screen that are included in the open Schedule screen, as long as the employee meets all the criteria of the staffing profile linked to the position (such as station and license requirements). Note: Employees are only scheduled for a position if there is a need set up for a profile linked to the position code or the employee has a rotating schedule that includes a profile linked to a position code.

For example, if a schedule is open for department 3010, the employee could be scheduled for either the 130105420 or the 130102000 positions, since they are both in the 3010 department. If a schedule is open for a schedule group that contains departments 3010, 3040, 3125, and 3130, the employee could be scheduled for any of the positions.

To view the details of a labor distribution record, click on the folder to the left of the record to open it.

Note: Labor distribution records are automatically set up as quick code records. Employees can select a quick code from the drop-down menu when clocking into the system via the Quick Badge section, and the proper labor distribution information will be applied to the clocking. For more information, see the Quick Badge section.
