Labor Contractor Tracking

SUGGESTED

Looking for suggestions on tracking labor contractor employee time daily by job/by cost code. Would like this information to flow through the payroll module but unable to pay vendors through that module. Curious how other companies track this data?

    Sorry for the delay, I didn't see this back in January.  

    I'll assume at this point, its because you want the sub costs to show as labor costs for T&M.  You can set up an employee called temp labor, or the subcontractor's company name but don't put any payroll through it.    If there will be more than one, some people like to use a specific number range for the "non employees'.  

    When you enter the subcontractor's bill, make a line on the job cost window for each cost code or days or whatever that you need the breakdown for.  After you save it, go to the job cost records that were created.  Add the employee # to the records, and the number of hours.  change the cost type to 2.

    Now when you compute T&M it should show up as labor.  If its not for the right amount to bill, you can override the billing amount on the job cost record.  Just be careful.

    Char, thank you for your response. I do have a couple questions, would you have a chance to discuss today?
