The Job labor charge field has special characteristics that make the procedure for creating new values differ slightly from the procedure for creating new values for other labor charge field values. The Job labor charge field is associated with job rates used by ezLaborManager, so additional information about the associated job rates must be specified when job values are defined or edited. The Job LCF also cannot be configured for employee loan, so the Supervisor ID field will not be visible when you are creating or editing Job values.

To create new Job values:

1. Click the Setup tab.

2. Under the Setup tab, click the Job link. A Job Values page opens and displays the Job values that have already been defined.

3. On the Job Values page, click the Add New button. A blank Job page opens.

4. In the Job field of the blank Job page, enter a Job ID.

   Tip: The Job ID is a code consisting of up to 25 letters and/or numbers that a user will enter into the Job field on the Time Sheet, Timecard Manager, scheduling pages, etc. It is helpful to make the ID short and easy to remember.

5. In the Description section, enter a brief description of the Job value in each language supported by your company. This field is required. Both the ID and the description will be displayed in the Job Lookup window.

6. In the Start Date field, click the button and select the date on which you want the new Job value to become available for use.

7. In the End Date field, click the button and select the last date on which you want the new Job value to be available for use.

   Tip: Entering a start date and end date is not required. Job values without start and end dates defined are always available if the Active check box is selected. If a start date is defined for a Job value but no end date is specified, the value will be available indefinitely after the start date has passed, as long as the Active box is checked. If an end date is defined but no start date is given, the value will be available until the end date has passed, as long as the Active box is checked.

8. If you do not want the new Job value you are creating to be immediately available for use, click the Active check box to remove the check mark.

   Notes:
   The Active check box allows you to make a Job value unavailable without deleting it permanently. When you use the Add New button to create a new Job value, the Active box is checked by default.
   
   If the Active check box is selected and no start and end dates are defined, the Job value is always available for use. If the Active check box is selected and start and end dates are defined, the Job value is only available during the specified date range.

9. If you want to associate a specific rate of pay with this Job, click the button in Row 1 of the table at the bottom of the page, select the date on which you want the job rate to take effect, and then enter in the Rate column the hourly rate of pay to be associated with the Job.

   Notes:
   A job rate is not required.
   
   If you define a job rate for a specific Job here and also assign employee-specific job rates for the same Job, the order and circumstances in which the job rates are applied is determined by certain settings associated with earnings codes. If you have questions about how job rates have been configured and are applied in your company, consult your payroll or system administrator.
    
   Only one job rate is in effect at a time, but you can schedule changes in the job rate by adding rows and creating new job rates. The job rate in effect is always the job rate with the latest effective date that has already passed. The effective job rate expires when the effective date of the next scheduled job rate is reached.

10. Click the Submit button.

Note: You can also use the button on the Job Values page or the Copy button on a Job page to create a new Job value based on an existing Job value.
