Labour type relates to the company's users, and the different types of labour that can be allocated to jobs. Although each labour type may not necessarily be charged to a customer, by setting up all labour types to match users, reporting on the productivity and economic viability of processes will be correct.

Actual labour can be used to produce accurate productivity figures showing individual or overall process improvement. If productivity is a key business indicator for the company, consider the setup of labour types carefully. Users should be encouraged to use the Actual Labour grid. Reports can then be devised based on labour type to examine productivity and improvement issues for the company processes. |

Each user can be assigned a default labour type in their cardfile. As they add labour to an active job, it will use that default labour type to describe their input. The the option for users to change the default (if required) is via an ellipsis [...] in the Labour grid of jobs.
