Enable Union Functionality |
Select this check box to allow the processing of Union Payroll and enable access to the applicable Union tables. It also enables the Manage Union Profile Setup screen, where you establish the union, local, and crew chief information. Select this check box to access the Crew Assignment, Manage Fringe Codes, and Manage Fringe Modify Codes. If you select this check box, you cannot use the Manage Wage Determination Fringe Charge Codes and the Manage Wage Determination Rates screens. If you select his check box, the Require Labor Location check box is automatically selected and the Union Fringe Ceilings by Local option becomes enabled. |
Union Fringe Ceilings by Local |
Select this check box to apply union fringe pay period and contract ceilings at the local level, rather than at the local/union/GLC level. If you select this check box, you have access to the Manage Union Fringe Ceilings by Local screen. In addition, the Compute Payroll process applies the ceilings set up on the Manage Union Fringe Ceilings by Local screen, rather than the ceilings from the Fringe Table subtask of the Manage Union Profile Setup screen. If this check box is selected and no ceilings are assigned to a local/fringe code on the Manage Union Fringe Ceilings by Local screen, no ceilings are applied to that local/fringe code. However, when you compute payroll, Costpoint prints a warning report, listing which local/fringe code combinations were not set up on the Manage Union Fringe Ceilings by Local screen. |
Enable Wage Determination |
Select this check box to enable the processing and setup of screens for wage determination project fringe and wage-related amounts. Selecting this check box (along with the Require Labor Location check box) enables the Manage Wage Determination Fringe Charge Codes screen, where you establish the charge settings for handling WD project fringe amounts. It also enables the Manage Wage Determination Rates screen, where you establish base pay rates per hour and an associated handling method, Fringe Amounts per Hour, and a related Fringe Payment Method. Fringe codes are established on the Manage Fringe Codes screen. The Fringe Payment Method enables the automatic generation of a "Fringe" timesheet line, when the timesheet line being charged results in "Fringe" fields being found in the Wage Determination Rates table, and the Wage Determination Rates record has the Fringe Payment Method set to Cash. For Costpoint Multicurrency (MU) users, if you selected both the Enable Wage Determination check box and the Enable Multicurrency Functionality check box, wage determination will be applied only to timesheets with USD (US Dollar) as transaction currency. This functionality is implemented in the following screens:
|
Enable Batch |
Select this check box to turn on the feature for calculating "running" control totals for regular hours, other (overtime) hours and total hours, and by timesheet type (regular, other than regular, and total number of timesheets) for a Group (or batch) of timesheets being entered on the Manage Timesheets screen. Select this check box to enable user entry of control totals for the batch before beginning timesheet entry. These control totals are compared to the system-calculated totals and you are alerted to any differences when you exit the timesheet entry screens. |
Use Standard Rates |
Select this check box to use standard (or effective) hourly rates for calculating labor costs for salaried employees. To use this feature, enter, on the Manage Employee Information screen, the estimated hours to be worked per year by employees. Costpoint calculates the standard (or effective) hourly rate (annual salary divided by the number of estimated hours) and uses this figure to calculate labor cost on the timesheet line. |
Standard Variance Account |
Use this field to generate a separate timesheet line that shows the difference between total labor cost at the standard rate and the employee's salary amount if the Standard Variance button is clicked on the Manage Timesheets screen during timesheet entry. This field is available and required only if you selected the Enable check box. Enter a General Ledger account or click to select your account. |
Use Reference Date in Correcting and Labor-Only Timesheets |
Select this check box to use the reference date to determine the rate when entering Correcting or Labor Only timesheets. |
Allow edit of timesheet line GLC |
Select this check box to allow changes to the General Labor Category (GLC) on each timesheet line. If you do not select this check box, the GLC is still stored on each timesheet line, but is filled in from the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen. This check box is selected as the default when you first enter this screen. |
Allow edit of timesheet Workers' Compensation Code |
Select this check box to allow edit of the workers' compensation code (the WC field) on the timesheet line. |
Require Labor Location |
Select this check box to require that a labor location be entered for each timesheet line. In order to access the Manage Wage Determination Rates and Manage Wage Determination Fringe Charge Codes screens, you must select both the Enable Wage Determination Feature and Require Labor Location check boxes. |
Enable Pay Type Restrictions |
Select this check box to enable the Manage Pay Type Restrictions screen, where you establish the pay types that cannot be used for a given project, but can optionally be used for a given location and labor group/union. It also enables the related automatic editing of the timesheet line pay type being charged based upon the entries on the Manage Pay Type Restrictions screen. |
Enable Multicurrency Functionality |
Select this check box to allow multi-currency functionality in labor and leave transactions. You must be licensed for Multicurrency (MU) to use this check box. Note:
When you select this check box, the Reconciliation Method on the Configure Leave Settings screen will be automatically set to Employee. Warning: If your company assigns the
DLTKSMB UI profile, to certain Costpoint user/user groups on the Manage User Interface Profiles screen, you must clear the
Enable Multicurrency Functionality check box to prevent validation errors when the users access the screens which have multicurrency functionality.
|
Allow generation of negative LWOP timesheet lines |
Selecting this check box to enable the automatic negative LWOP timesheet line generation functionality in the timesheet applications. When you select this check box, the screen enables the following options, which determine how existing negative LWOP timesheet lines are handled when a user selects to create negative LWOP timesheet lines for a timesheet:
|
Exclude timesheets with existing negative LWOP lines | Select this option to exclude timesheets with existing negative LWOP lines from the application processing. If a timesheet for an employee has any negative LWOP lines in the input file, the application will not delete the negative LWOP lines and will skip that timesheet when it generates negative LWOP TS lines. |
Delete and regenerate existing negative LWOP lines | Select this option to delete all existing negative LWOP lines from the file regardless of whether they are linked to a positive LWOP line. The application will then generate new negative LWOP lines for any positive LWOP lines. |
