- For a given schedule, in the Weekly analytics table, enter the % Labor Target in the Budget column as shown below.
- The table will back out fixed salary labor, and show the max Hourly labor % (see outlined number below)
- As a manager builds a schedule, they will see the total hourly labor they've scheduled alongside the budgeted %
- If the Schedule exceeds the labor target, manager will be unable to publish the schedule. (providing the Analytics constraints shown above are engaged)
NOTE: When you add a Budget %, you'll be prompted to carry forward the % target for the next 13 weeks.
