Add or Edit a Custom Job Code

The Job Codes panel defines customized job codes to allow paying a flat rate for a particular job type that overrides the employee's regular labor rate, such as union-based rates for digging a ditch, driving, operating a jackhammer, etc. These rates are set with a start and end date so the date the work is done determines which rates apply. This enables different rates to be used as needed without having to constantly update the rates under each employee.

PREREQUISITES: The Use Dynamic Cost Codes preference must be enabled to view the Job Codes panel on the General tab in Preferences. See Configure Domain Preferences for more information.

Once Job Codes are added, they may be associated with employees on the Labor and ELM pages on requests and work orders.
