Calculate Straight Time Cost

Straight Time Cost = (Hours Worked X Employee's Labor Cost Rate)

Distribute Labor Costs uses the labor cost rate that is in effect for an employee as of the week ending date for each selected expenditure item. This amount can be overridden by the Labor Costing Extension to handle unique labor costing rules.

If an employee's labor cost is burdened, Oracle Projects calculates the burdened cost using the following formula:

Burdened Cost = (Straight Time Cost X (1 + Burden Multiplier))

To determine if a labor cost is burdened, Oracle Projects checks the project type of the project to which an expenditure item is charged. The burden multiplier is determined from the burden schedule (or burden schedule override) assigned to the project or task. In addition, Oracle Projects compares the expenditure item date to the effective dates of the burden schedule to determine the burden multiplier to use.

If an organization distribution override exists, the destination organization of the override supersedes the actual expenditure organization of affected items.

When you run the cost distribution programs for labor, expense reports, or usages and miscellaneous transactions, Oracle Projects redirects the Expenditure Organization to the "Override To" Organization if you have specified any of the following organization distribution overrides for the organization:

• Incurred by Employee and Expenditure Category

• Incurred by Employee

• Expenditure Organization and Expenditure Category

• Expenditure Category
