Enter a code, up to 10 characters, that will uniquely identify this union or type of work.

Crafts define work types or unions. For union contractors, one craft should represent one union for reporting purposes. Non-union contractors may also use the craft and class tables for setting up standard pay rates by work type, particularly if doing prevailing wage work.

Enter a description of this craft, up to 30 characters.

Enter the address information for this craft. You will typically only do this when the craft represents a union for reporting.

• Address

• City

• State - This must be a valid state as defined in HQ States. The system validates the state based on the default country specified in HQ Company Setup for the active company. If you enter an invalid state an error will display, but the system will allow entry. You must then enter a valid country for this state in the Country field.

• Zip Code/Postal Code

• Country - You must enter a country in this field when the address exists outside of the default country specified in HQ Company Parameters for the active company. The country must be valid for the state (province, territory, etc.) you specified in the State field.

Enter the vendor (from AP Vendors) that will be used for creating AP transactions for this craft/union’s deductions and liabilities; typically used by union contractors. Vendor specified here may be overridden for individual deductions and liabilities in the Dedns/Liabs tab.

If no vendor is specified here, the vendor assigned (in PR Deductions/Liabilities) to each deduction/liability set up for this craft will be used.

Enter the date on which new rates for add-on earnings and deductions/liabilities (specified on the Dedns/Liabs tab) become effective. Timecards posted to dates before this date use the old rates, and those posted on or after this date use the new rate. This applies to all classes within the craft. Effective date may be overridden by template in PR Craft Templates.

Old rates can be updated automatically with the new rates by selecting the Move New Rates to Old option on the File menu. The old rates for all classes on the craft will be replaced with their new rate; new rates are not affected by this update. Rates are typically moved whenever the Effective Date is changed.

Optional; not used by the standard forms.

This field might be used to identify a Crystal Report that will be formatted for this union; informational only.

It might also be used to enter a code that could be used in a Crystal Report as a restriction to group together like unions that use the same report format. For instance, you might have multiple Carpenters’ unions that all use the same format. Each carpenter’s craft could be set up with “CARP” as the Report Type. A Crystal Report that was formatted to match the Carpenters’ format could be set up with a restriction to only print for crafts with “CARP” as the Report Type.

Enter the overtime schedule (from PR Overtime Schedule) that will be used to determine the daily overtime “rules” for this craft. Leave blank if daily overtime is not required by this craft. This schedule would be used for employees who have C-Craft selected as their Overtime option in PR Employees.

Enter the trade sequence number for this craft. A list of valid trade sequence numbers can be found in the “Champ-CM Equal Opportunity Management Software” requirements.

Enter a sequence number to control the order in which earnings and/or liabilities are reduced to keep the total wages plus benefits within a capped limit. The full amount of the preceding code must be reduced before the next code is affected.

For more information, see Setting Capped Codes and Limits.

Select the capped code type: E-Earnings or L-Liability.

For more information, see Setting Capped Codes and Limits.

Enter the earnings or liability code that is to be capped. The entry must be either an add-on earnings or a liability code that is already set up for the craft, and its method must be rate per hour. If the hourly rate earned exceeds the capped limit in PR Craft Classes, then these earnings or liability codes are reduced.

For more information, see Setting Capped Codes and Limits.

Select the capped basis code type: E-Earnings or L-Liability.

For more information, see Setting Capped Codes and Limits.

Earn/Liab Code field on the PR Crafts form, Capped Basis tab.

If the Type is E-Earnings, enter a valid earnings code or press F4 to select from a list of valid earnings codes. Earnings code must have a method of H-Rate per hour (in PR Earnings Codes).

If the Type is L-Liability, enter a valid liability code or press F4 to select from a list of valid liability codes. Liability code must have a method of H-Rate per hour or A-Amount AND a calculation category of C-Craft, E-Employee, or A-Any (in PR Deductions/Liabilities).

Earn Code field on the PR Crafts form, Allowance Earnings tab.

Enter the earnings code for this allowance or press F4 to select from a list of valid earnings codes.
