Tracking Time For Subs and Consultants

When tracking time for subs and consultants, it is important that costs are not duplicated through Labor Timecards and Bills/Sub Invoices. To avoid this issue, payroll item cost and billing rates should be set to zero (0) for vendor employees that will be tracked. The actual labor costs would then be incurred when a Bill or Sub Invoice is entered. The timecard log reports can be used to verify hours on the actual vendor's invoice.

Steps To Complete Before Entering Vendor Labor Timecards

1. Updating the Vendor's profile for Time Tracking
2. Create Payroll Items (eg. Straight Time, Overtime etc.) in Settings.
3. Make sure Vendor Employees are setup and Payroll Items from step 2 are referenced. Both the cost and bill rates for these items should be set to zero.
