Budget Planner Tool gives you a variety of ways to keep up with your labor costs. You can have planned and actual budget information available at your fingertips.
Begin the budget setup process by navigating to Location Settings.
Locate Budget Rules.
Find the Plan Budget By dropdown and then choose one of four options:
- Location--displays summary information for the entire location.
- Duty--displays labor costs by duties.
- Zone--displays labor costs by zone(s).
- Zone & Duty--provides a combination budget summary of both zones and duties.
After making your selection,
be sure to save your choice to ensure that your budget setup is accurately recorded.
Next, find the Display By dropdown and choose either Dollars or Hours.
Then, click the save button.
It is important to consider that calculating a budget based on hours may lead to varying outcomes compared to calculating based on dollars. This is because employees often have different pay rates. When measuring by hours, these pay rate discrepancies are not taken into account.
