Labor

The Labor System is where you can maintain and track labor information including employee hiring, borrowing and transferring, time clock punches, shift schedules, and employee availability. The system can calculate the recommended labor information for scheduling, using labor matrices (e.g. ‘par levels’) and sales forecasts. The Labor System has a wide variety of information and reports that you can use to effectively and accurately manage labor costs.

The Labor System features include the following:

•	Employees — Enter and manage employee records, and borrow or transfer employees.

•	Payroll — Edit, or adjust shifts, and track non-worked hours (e.g. vacation, and jury duty).

•	Scheduling — Create new schedules, edit existing schedules, and manage employee availability.

•	Staffing — Manage staff recommendations for scheduling using the labor matrices.

•	Manager Tools — Manage forecasting, run payroll and labor imports/exports, view site notifications.

•	Reports — View and print labor-related reports.

The Labor System also has three buttons at the bottom of the screen:

•	Stop — This button exits the MenuLink application.

•	Workflow — This button gives you a list of configured workflows to run that will guide you through common processes, such as hiring a new employee or running your End of Day routine.

•	Inventory — This button takes you to the Inventory Switchboard.
