Labor Distribution Card

The Labor Distribution card displays screens used to identify groups of employees used in rules and payroll processing. Labor Distributions can be used for selection criteria for assignments, such as benefits eligibility or rules processing, and also in scheduling, such as job class and position qualifications, or Education Tracking assignments.

When setting up the system, some screens need to be set up before others, because the Code of a particular record may be required as a field value in another screen.

The recommended sequence of configuration is as follows:

1. Grade

2. Job Class

3. Position

4. Profile

5. Labor Group

6. Payroll Group

7. Seniority Code

8. Status Code

9. Union Code

The following diagram displays the relationship between various screens used in the setup of the labor distributions.

• Position Codes identify a Job Class held by one or more employees within a specific Organization Unit. Positions assigned to an employee determine if the employee is qualified to work a schedule opening.

  Positions are assigned to employees in their Employee record > Labor Distribution.

  Note  

  Within the Labor Distribution screen the employee may instead be assigned a Job Class and Organization Unit, which also defines a position. However, a position code is required when using the staffing/scheduling application, since positions are linked to the profiles used for scheduling.

• Profiles further define the requirements for employees for a schedule opening. They include Position codes and may also include extra qualifications, such as Skills, Stations, and/or Profile Licenses. The Profile screen can also be set up to limit the Activity Codes that can be used to schedule employees in that Profile.

  • Multiple positions may be qualified to work the same profile: In the example below, the ICU department has Positions of 20-3290-2000, 20-3290-2001, 20-3290-2002, 20-3290-2003, and they are all equally qualified to work the RN-ICU profile.

  • The same position may qualify to work multiple profiles: In the example below, Positions 20-3290-2002 and 20-3290-2003 are also qualified to work the RN-ICU-Trauma profile (employees must also have the license of ALTS). Position 20-3290-2003 is also qualified to work the CHRN-ICU profile (employees must also have a Skill Level of 3 and a Station of Charge Nurse).

  • Employees are assigned Skills and Stations in their Employee Record > Labor Distribution > Skill Codes field and Stations button for the related Profile record.

• Licenses may be required by the Position and/or the Profile. Licenses are created in the Licenses configuration screen and are attached as requirements in Position > License and/or Profile > Licenses.

  Licenses are assigned to employees in their Employee Record > Licenses.
