Employee Record - Labor Distribution

The Labor Distributions screen is where the positions (or organization unit/job classes) are set up that the employee is qualified to work. Employees are able to access self scheduling in organization units where they have a Home or Alternate position that are NOT relief positions, and where the organization unit participates in self-scheduling. The labor distribution options are then available on the drop down menu when self scheduling.

Employees can also be assigned to a Schedule Group via the Parameters tab in a labor distribution record. The schedule group assigned to an employee in this screen overrides the schedule group assigned to the matching Profile code.

To add a new labor distribution to the employee record, complete the following steps:

1. From the Employee section>Employee Sections, select the Labor Distribution option.
2. From the left pane, select either Add Alternate, Add Alternate Home, or Add Primary Home, depending on the assignment of the labor distribution.
3. Important Note: In order for an employee to have Position Permissions to available schedules, the Position Code field must be configured. It is not enough to have a job class/organization unit match to the position; the field itself must have a value.
4. Complete the rest of the information for this assignment. The fields with an asterisk are required. For more information on the fields available for configuration, see the Employee section>Employee Section button>Labor Distribution.

To add a Self Scheduling Group to the employee Labor Distribution record, complete the following steps:

1. From the Employee section>Labor Distribution card, search for and select the labor distribution to be assigned to a Self Schedule Group.
2. Open the Parameters tab, then expand the Category - Self Scheduling card.
3. In the Employee Labor Distribution Parameter Self Scheduling Standard Alpha 1 field, enter the Self Schedule Group code. This must exactly match the value entered in the Self Schedule Group Order Table.

   Employee Labor Distribution Parameter Self Scheduling Standard Alpha 1 is used to assign an employee directly to a schedule group. The value entered in this field will override the schedule group assigned to an employee's matching profile.

   The employee will only have access to the self scheduling feature during the time frames assigned to the schedule group entered in this field, and will not have access to the self scheduling feature during the time frame assigned to the schedule group of the matching profile.

   Valid Values:

   Any alphanumeric value that matches a value entered into the Code field of the Self Schedule Group Order Table.

   Note: This parameter is found in the Employee record section>Employee Sections>Labor Distribution screen>Parameters tab.

4. Save the record.
