Labor Type Setup

Mover’s Suite Administration > MMS > General > Labor Type

Use this setup to define the roles of those who will be referenced within MoversSuite such as packer, loader, coordinator, driver, salesperson, etc. These are the people who be included on order and service requests within MoversSuite.

Labor Types can be defined in any manner and can be as specific as needed. Define all the types that would be typically associated to an order, such ones for local driver, long distance, and local CDL driver, etc.

Employees will be associated to a Labor Type within User Setup. Specifically, the Labor Type is referenced within the MoversSuite Administration – web > User Setup > Personnel > Labor Type field.
