    Creating New Job Values  |

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 the Time & Attendance module, 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 Manager ID field will not be visible when you are creating or editing Job values.
To create new Job values:
From the Time & Attendance menu, select Setup.
Note: If the Setup option is not visible, make sure that you have selected Practitioner in the Role Selector.
In the Labor Charge Fields section, click the Job link. A Job Values page opens and displays the Job values that have already been defined.
On the Job Values page, click the Add New button. A blank Job page opens.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
