In Limble, labor categories allow users to categorize their labor to log their time. This can be useful if wages change for weekend or holiday rates, or if tasks or users are billed to different departments.

This article will teach you how to create labor categories and how to add a labor category to a task.

(Note: only Super Users can create and configure labor categories.)

To create labor categories, a Super User will navigate to Settings > Configuration. Under Billing Settings, click "Customize."

In the new window, select "Add Labor Category."

Add a name for each category and select which of the 3 options you want to use for the billable rate. You can input a pay rate, use the user's wage, or add an overtime category with a multiplier that will automatically adjust the pay rate for overtime hours.

When you add time to a task, you will be required to select a labor category.

The labor category will appear with a user's logged time.

After completing the task you can edit the time spent and billable hours. This allows you to have different hours recorded for each if necessary.

(Note: labor costs are only accessible in a completed task state. Only users with permissions #48 'Edit Completed Tasks' and #142 'View Labor Costs' can access and change labor categories in a completed task state.)
