HS Store Settings: Labor Categories (Add and Edit and Inactivate)

Overview

In HotSchedules Labor Categories are used to group your labor cost. You need to have at least one labor category. However, you can as many as your business needs.

For example: You can have Front of House (FOH), Back of the House (BOH) and Store categories. Or simply have a main labor category.

This is where you will be able to view information for all labor categories, and if you have the permission to edit, you will be able to add, edit and inactivate labor categories. 

A - Labor Category:  This column will have the name of the labor category for your site. Showing active labor categories first and (D) inactive labor categories at the bottom. If the schedule name has a Lock or House before the name, that means this is a group labor category
