Vendor Employees
• Create Vendor Employee record
– Vendor Employee ID – helpful to have a unique numbering and employee name to aid in searches ex. 02-BLOWJANEG
• 01 (Sequential subcontractor number) can be contract specific to aid in knowing which vendor employees support which projects etc.
• Fill remaining spaces with as much of the employee name as possible (easier when printing timesheets and reviewing the invoice vs a numbering scheme)
– T&E Employee ID ex. SUBKTEST-001
• SUBKTEST (Subcontractor Name)
• 001 (Sequential employee numbering)
– Create unique PLCs/GLCs for Vendor employees – helpful when completing timesheets/invoices/reviewing labor reports
*Ensure the PLC is manually entered in Manage UDT06 in T&E (may be fixed by class time)

Vendor Employees
• Create Vendor Employee record
– Default Pay Type
– Default Invoice Rate – should be the ST burdened bill rate for the Subcontractor Employee
– Labor Location – we recommend you a unique labor location for each contract or contract location and/or type of position (ORLCBA, ORLSCA, ORLEX)
– Create timesheet classes for vendor employees that are specific to the subcontract requirements (pay types in timesheet classes impact invoice calculations)

Vendor Employees
• Create Vendor Employee record
– Be creative – fields not required may be used for other reporting requirements
• We used the city field for the company position number
• We used the Skill subtask for the employee anniversary date (required for CBA/SCA reporting)
• We used the Certification Details subtask for Subcontractor Employee IDs

Manage Work Assignment
The sky is the limit with work assignment set-up
• *Key* Verify the Purchase Order (Subcontract Agreement) has been approved.
• The detail of the work assignment will be used to create the detail of the subcontractor invoice.
– Each work assignment line can be a labor category with a rate
– Each work assignment line can be a CLIN SUBCLIN with multiple rates and labor categories

Manage Work Assignment
• Each vendor employee is assigned to a particular work assignment line to control charging
