How can I add a new Labor Classification?

 

Labor Classifications are most commonly used by contractors when entering Labor Hours in a QC Daily Report. Here the contractor will open a daily report and select the "Labor/Equipment Hours" to view all of the contractors that worked that day and their labor classification. This is also where you may [Add] labor hours for your subcontractors using the Add Labor Hours window as shown below:

You can see all of available labor classifications by opening the "Government Library | Labor Classification" module as shown below. However this module is read only, you cannot change any information in this module.

However, sometimes you will not be able to find a proper labor classification. Inside of QCS there is no way to enter a labor classification. You will have to contact your USACE Representative to do that. The reason for this is that the USACE wants to make sure that every labor classifications follow a consistent form and that there are no duplicates.

If you plan on using labor classifications that are not listed in the "Government Library | Labor Classification" module, then the USACE must add the classifications in RMS for you. It is the Prime Contractor's obligation to verify that all applicable labor classifications are included. The labor classifications are intended to comply, and are base on, the Department of Labor, Dictionary of Occupational Titles. There are approximately 900 entries that deal with our construction contracts. You can view that document by clicking here.

 

After your USACE Representative has added the labor classification they will need to perform an export to QCS and you will need to perform an import from RMS to receive the new labor classifications.
