Use these fields and options to configure the Manage Employee Hour Ceilings screen.

Contents

Field	Description
Employee	Enter, or click to select, the employee to whom the ceiling hours apply. The same employee can appear more than once in this column, provided you identify a separate labor category. If you selected the Project Work Force Required check box on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow, you can enter only employees set up on the Manage Employee Work Force screen in this field. This is a required field.
Employee Name	This non-editable column displays the last name of each employee in the Employee column. The employee name is defined on the Manage Employee Information screen.
Labor Category	Enter, or click to select, the Project Labor Categories (PLCs) to which ceiling hours are applied. If you selected the Project Work Force Required check box on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow, you must also set up the PLC for the project for the employee on the Assign PLC to Employee Work Force subtask of the Manage Employee Work Force screen. If you selected both the Project Work Force Required and the Use Top Level Work Force check boxes on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow, you must also set up the PLC for the employee for the top level of the project on the Assign PLC to Employee Work Force subtask of the Manage Employee Work Force screen. Note that the Use Top Level Work Force check box does not apply to ceilings. The revenue and billing programs look only at the revenue and billing levels or below. These programs do not look to the top level of the project for ceilings if the Use Top Level Work Force check box is selected. This check box applies only to PLC validation and defaulting. You can enter any valid PLC that was set up on the Manage Project Labor Categories (PLC) screen provided you did not select the Project Work Force Required check box on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow. This is a required field.
Hours Ceiling	Enter the ceiling hours for the Employee/Labor Category combination. Ceiling hours can be a positive number or zero. A blank is translated to a "0.00" hour ceiling. To ensure that no ceiling hours are imposed for a given combination, make no entry on that row.
