PLCs Assigned to Employee Work Force

This table window displays all the PLCs assigned to the employee work force. You can add rows to this table by using the PLCs and Selected Employees table windows, or by clicking the New button and selecting the PLC you want to link to an employee.

Field	Description
PLC	Enter, or click to select, a PLC to be linked to an employee.
Description	This column displays the description of each PLC.
Default PLC	Select this check box to have this PLC default into the timesheet when the selected employee works on this project. Since you can set up multiple PLCs for each employee/project combination, you must specify which PLC is the timesheet default. For any given employee/project combination, there must be at least one PLC with this check box selected. If this check box is clear, the PLC does not default, but is available for when you enter employee timesheets. This field does not affect employee labor entered via journal entries, since no PLC defaults are offered for journal entries.
Employee	Enter, or click to select, an employee to which you want to assign the project labor category you specified in the PLC column. Only employees that are part of the work force (that is, those that are entered in the Selected Employees table window) are available for selection.
Employee Name	This column displays the name of each employee in the Employee column.
Check	Click this button to view a list of projects and employees who have more than one PLC default or no default at all; both are validated in the screen. This list provides a quick view of all projects with existing problems, all of which may not be initially seen on the screen. The "and more" verbiage indicates that, as the projects that are displayed are corrected, more projects will display.
