CORPORATE LABOR SETTINGS

Use this subtask to establish or modify settings related to timesheet processing and labor functions. You can change the settings in this subtask if your user ID is assigned access rights. Otherwise, this subtask is non-editable.

Options

Use Social Security Number for Employee ID

Select this check box to require that the Employee ID field contain the social security number of an employee. It automatically enables the Employee ID field with a mask in the form of "___-__-____," and it automatically fills in the Social Security No field from the Employee ID field in the Basic Employee Info table in Costpoint Employee. Select this check box to have Costpoint perform a numeric-only edit on the first 11 characters (counting the dashes) of the employee ID when you add employees. In this table, the Employee ID field length is set to a minimum of 11 characters.

If you make a change to this check box or the Employee ID Length setting, you must exit and reenter Costpoint to make either change effective.

You must decide soon after installation how to set this check box. Changing the status of this check box after initializing Costpoint may compromise data integrity. If you enter employees with this check box not selected, the employee IDs are stored without the dashes. If you need to access these previously entered employees, you must delete them under the old setting and reenter them under the new setting. If you have a large number of employees, you may need to run a conversion program instead (call Costpoint Technical Support before attempting this).

Settings

Employee ID Length

Use this field to determine the number of allowable characters, between 1 and 12, for the employee ID. If you selected the Use Social Security Number for Employee ID check box, this field can be only 11 characters long. This is a required field.

If you make a change to the Employee ID Length or to the Use Social Security Number for Employee ID check box, you must exit and reenter Costpoint to make either change effective.

Deltek Time & Expense

If you are licensed to use Deltek Time & Expense, use this group box to select the software version that you are using.

Version

From the drop-down list, Select which version of Time & Expense (formerly Electronic Timesheet (ET) or Time Collection) your company is using. Depending on your Costpoint and Time & Expense settings, Costpoint uses this value to determine which applications in the Time Collection (ET) Interface menu you can access. Valid options are:

• None

• Time & Expense 8.3

• Time & Expense 9.x+

Select None to disable access to all applications in the Time Collection (ET) Interface menu.

FLSA Settings

Use this group box to specify FLSA rates that are used as a basis for validating whether an employee’s salary level is eligible for FLSA exemption.  Set up this table if you want Costpoint to use salary to validate an employee’s FLSA exemption status.

Effective Date

Enter the effective date of the FLSA annual exemption basis. 

Annual Exemption Basis

Enter the FLSA annual exemption basis. This value is specified by the U.S. Department of Labor. The application uses this value to determine whether an employee's salary makes him eligible for FLSA exemption. If an employee's salary is greater than or equal to the amount you enter here, the employee is regarded as eligible for FLSA exemption.
