How DPS Determines Which Labor Category Table to Use for Billing

To determine the labor category to use for a particular employee working on a particular project, DPS looks in certain locations, in a particular order.

1. DPS first looks for an override table entered in the Override Table field on the Labor tab of the project's Billing Terms form.
2. If By Category is entered in the Method field on the Labor tab of the project's billing terms, DPS next looks at the labor category table assigned to the project.
3. Next DPS looks at the labor category specified in the Labor Category field on the Employment Details tab in the Employees hub.

You can override the value set in the Employees hub with a labor override table or a labor category table. The best practice is to use labor override tables to override categories. Whichever method you choose, be consistent with all of your category overrides.
