Configure Labor Codes

This allows you to create multiple labor codes and rates that can be used across Eptura Asset but can be overridden at the department or employee level.

When you have labor costs related to the type of work being done by your labor force, such as overtime, travel, holiday, maintenance, preventive, etc. You can let your labor force choose the correct labor code based on the work they are doing for more accurate labor rates on work order labor lines.

Enable Labor Codes


Before you can use the labor codes, these must be enabled in the Marketplace.

When the labor codes are turned on, then you must complete the set up at the Global Level so that the labor rates can be assigned to the work orders. The Site Level and Employee & Users Level can be used to set up exceptions.

Global Level


You can set up labor codes at the global level, where it will be used across your organization.

Here you will create each global labor code, such as Regular Hours with the cost of $25.00. Then this can be marked as the default. Then you can create departments if you plan to set specific labor rates at the Site Level or User Level.
