Summary

Use this tab page to record the costing details for a Reason. For example, you may want to record the Cost Centre for an absence due to Time in lieu.

Fields

The fields on this tab page are optional.

Cost Centre:

Select a Cost Centre here if you want a Reason code included in Cost Centre reporting. If the Cost Centre selected here has a General ledger code attached to it, these costs export to your General Ledger system.

Job:

Cost Centres can be broken down into various Jobs. For example, the Jobs for a Cost Centre 'Sales' could contain the names of each major client in your organisation. You may want to report on the proportion of time each Reason for Absence has contributed to each Job.

Award:

An Award may be used for a Reason code.

Rate:

Sometimes a Reason code has a  special Rate. For example, the Task 'Prepare mailout letters' could have a rate of $100 permanently attached to it.

Rate amount:

The value entered here overrides other amounts entered against a Reason.

Factor:

The Factor is a multiplier that is combined with the Rate. A standard Factor where the Rate remains the same is 1.0000.
