You use the Crafts application to define skill levels, standard rates, and premium pay codes for crafts. You can associate labor records with one or more crafts to indicate their various job skills. The craft code typically reflects the type of work done by employees and contractors. A craft represents an occupation or trade, and typically the craft name reflects the type of work done by members of the trade. If pay rates differ based on expertise you can create multiple skill levels and assign different pay rates to each skill level. For example, to make a

distinction between a junior and senior level mechanic, you do not have to create two separate craft records. You can create a single craft record of MECHANIC and create two skill levels (JUNIOR and SENIOR) within the MECHANIC craft.

Each skill level within a craft can have different standard pay rates. You may also establish standards rates for external vendors (with or without labor contracts) for crafts and for skill levels within a craft. The Crafts application also lets you create and manage premium pay codes for premium pay rates. You have to define premium pay codes before Maximo allows you to associate them with a craft.

Any number of premium pay types and rates can be established for each craft record. Premium pay can be calculated as a multiplier, an increment, or as an hourly amount.

You can associate a labor record with a craft from either the Labor application or the Crafts application.

A single laborer might have many different job skills. The Crafts table window on a labor record allows you to list multiple crafts and skill levels for a laborer.

You break the association between a labor record and a craft by deleting the labor record from the Associated Labor table window. When you do this, you are not deleting the labor record from the database, only removing the relationship between that labor record and the craft.

As with job plans, you may choose to list crafts instead of laborers when creating work plans on work orders. This approach allows the work order to be assigned to any available laborer in the craft, on any shift.

A craft represents an occupation or trade. The members of a craft have the same job skills and can be assigned to perform a specific type of work on a ticket or work order. Crafts may include contract laborers. Examples of crafts include mechanics, electricians, plumbers, and so forth.

Person groups are a way to group individuals by job responsibilities as opposed to craft skills, for example supervisors or managers. The members of a person group can be assigned to perform similar types of tasks as part of an escalation or a Workflow process, for example approving status changes for records.

Person groups might include individuals with different job skills, job titles, or from different departments within a company.

You may also use the Person Groups application to create groups of individuals who do not share job skills or responsibilities, but might work as a team on a project. For example a safety review team might include members from several different departments, crafts, or skill levels.

You use the Crafts application to create, view, modify, and manage craft records.

You can add one or more skill levels to a craft as a way to indicate which craft members have more experience. You add skill levels by creating new rows in the Skill Levels table window. Skill levels are defined by an administrator in the Domains application.

You use the Outside Rates table window to record and view the standard rates charged by vendors for contract labor for the craft and skill level.

The Craft tab can also be used to define skill levels and specify standard rates for crafts. Premium pay codes associated with each craft are also displayed in this tab. Standard rates for crafts can be based on skill levels, external vendors, and premium pay codes.

You use the Premium Pay table window to list premiums paid in addition to standard rates, for example premiums paid for working particular shifts, for working on holidays, or for possessing a particular qualification or certification.

You create, view, modify and delete premium pay codes from a master list of Note: Outside rates associated with a labor rate contract cannot be modified after the contract has been approved.

Note: The standard rate established for a craft is irrespective of the skill level.

premium pay codes using the Manage Premium Pay Codes action in the Select Action menu.

If the Apply to New Crafts? check box is selected for a pay code (Figure 7-11), Maximo automatically copies the pay code to a new craft record when the record is saved. You may provide additional premium pay codes to a craft by creating new rows in the Premium Pay table window.

Figure 7-11 Apply to New Crafts? check box

Having specified a rate in the Rate field, if you select the Inherit check box, the value in the Rate field will revert to the standard rate and the Rate field becomes read-only. To set a rate exclusively for this labor code, enter a rate in the Rate field and do not select the Inherit check box.

You may associate a labor record with a craft from either the Labor application or the Crafts application. In the Crafts application, you associate labor with a craft by creating new rows in Associated Labor table window on the Associated Labor tab.

If you are creating craft records with similar skill levels and pay codes, you may simplify the record creation process by using the Duplicate Craft action available from the Select Action menu. When you duplicate a craft record, Maximo copies the values listed on the record (skill levels, pay codes, laborers and so forth).

You can break the association between a labor record and a craft by clicking the Mark Row For Delete button for the labor in the Associated Labor table window.

You must click Save for the deletion to take effect. When you delete a labor record from the Associated Labor table window, you are not deleting the labor record from the database, you are only removing the relationship between that labor record and the craft.
