Table 1. Table Columns
Column	Description
Labor Rate Type	The type of the labor rate that defines the detail level of the labor rate. The type can be one of the following options: Labor Item: The labor item Employee: The employee and optionally the labor item Project: The project and optionally any of the following: the project task and the labor item Union Wage: The union local and labor item This option is available only if the Construction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form. Prevailing Wage: The project and labor item This option is available only if the Construction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
Union Local	The union local associated with the labor rate. This column appears on the form if the Construction or Payroll feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
Project	The project associated with the labor rate.
Project Task	The project task associated with the labor rate.
Employee	The identifier of the employee associated with the labor rate. This column is available only if Employee is selected in the Labor Rate Type column; in this case, it is a required setting.
Employee Name	The name of the selected employee.
Labor Item	The non-stock item of the Labor type associated with the labor rate.
UOM	The unit of measure of the labor rate. When you select a labor item, the system populates this column with the base unit of measure of the selected labor item (which should be HOUR by default). This column is read-only and hidden by default.
Description	The description of the labor rate.
Type of Employment	The type of the selected employee with regard to pay, which can be one of the following options: Hourly: The employee is paid (usually weekly or biweekly) based on a rate for the hours worked. Annual Non-Exempt: The employee is compensated based on his or her salary, with overtime hours paid additionally. Annual Exempt: The employee is compensated based on salary, which is typically paid once or twice a month, with no additional pay for overtime hours. As an example, suppose that an employee, whose rate is specified or calculated as $70 and whose working schedule consists of 40 regular hours per week, created a time card and reported 50 regular hours spent on a project during the week. The total amount of the project transactions generated upon the release of the time card depends on the type of employment of the employee's labor rate in the following way: Hourly or Annual Non-Exempt: The total amount always equals the number of billable hours spent on the project (regardless of the earning type) multiplied by the employee’s rate—that is, `50 * $70 = $3500`. Annual Exempt: The total amount equals the weekly salary amount, regardless of the number of reported billable hours—that is, `40 * $70 = $2800`.
Regular Hours per Week	The work hours that the employee typically spends during a week on activities with the Regular Hours earning type.
Annual Rate	The amount of the employee's annual salary. You can enter an annual salary amount if the Annual Non-Exempt or Annual Exempt type of employment is selected for the line.
Rate	The pay rate of the employee for the UOM of the labor rate. You can enter a rate only if the Hourly type of employment is selected for the line. For other types of employment, the rate is calculated automatically when you enter the annual salary amount. This column appears on the form only if the Payroll feature is disabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
Wage Rate	The pay rate of the employee for the UOM of the labor rate that the system uses when creating payroll transactions. The wage rate cannot exceed the costing rate. If you specify a wage rate that is above the costing rate, the system will automatically increase the costing rate so that the burden rate does not become negative. This column appears on the form only if the Payroll feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
Burden Rate	The difference between the costing rate and the wage rate. The burden rate cannot be negative. This column appears on the form only if the Payroll feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
Costing Rate	The pay rate of the employee for the UOM of the labor rate that the system uses when creating project transactions. The costing rate cannot be less than the wage rate. This column appears on the form only if the Payroll feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
Currency	The currency of the labor rate. This column appears on the form only if the Multicurrency Accounting feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
