Overview
Labor Codes are used to designate the "work" that an employee is doing. Labor codes can be subtotals in Project Management reports. They are not exposed in billing, nor do they have budgets. Similar to Expense Groups, they are put into groups that are used to classify the work done on a project. An employee is able to enter a Labor Code on the time Sheet. Examples of Labor Codes include site time, meetings, phone calls, etc.
