Labor Grade is used to estimate the hourly rate of a level of labor. The system will use this rate to calculate labor cost for each work order.

Name	Type and Description
1. Labor Grade	2 alpha-numeric characters. Labor Grade for a labor level.
2. Description	30 alpha-numeric characters. Description of the Labor Grade.
3. Current Rate	13 numeric digits with 6 decimal places and an optional minus sign. Current labor rate of the labor grade. This rate should be a little higher than the average salary of this level if labor insurance, benefits, etc. are part of the labor cost. The basic rule of thumb is to use 10% more than the average salary.
Last Rate	13 numeric digits with 6 decimal places and an optional minus sign. Display only. This is the rate prior to the current rate.
Last Change	A standard date format and an Elliott User ID. Display only. This is the date this labor grade was changed and the Elliott User who changed it.

There are 2 BOMP Global Setup fields requiring a Labor Grade for a default value. Remember to set them after creating new labor grades.
