Using the Staffing tab (GCs & GRs)

This article will show you how to use the Staffing tab within the General Condition & General Requirements (GCs & GRs) module.

Staff Section

Adding Staff

In the GCGRs section of your project, under the Staffing tab, click +Add under the Name column.
Select the desired Job Titles you want to add. You can filter by Region if needed.
(Optional) In this Add Staff window you can double-click on the Name cell to add an employee. The platform sets “TBD” by default, but this can always be changed.
Click on the Add Staff Detail.
(Optional) Double click on the Name cell to add a specific employee to the Job Title.

Duplicating Staff

In the GCs & GRs section of your project, under the Staffing tab, right click on the Staff you want to copy. Select Duplicate staff detail.

Removing Staff

In the GCGR section of your project, under the Staffing tab, right click on the Staff you want to remove. Select “Delete staff detail”.
The platform will ask you to confirm you want to remove the Staff. Click Confirm.

Understanding Staff

After adding your Staff, you will notice fields have populated like Salary, Annual Car Allowance, Duration, Start and Finish Dates, as well as a Percentage (%).

The Salaries are auto-filled by default and can be edited at anytime.
The Start and Finish Dates are pulling automatically from the GCGR setup/edit screen. This can be edited at any time either from the Dates at the top of the page or from the Settings icon at the top right of the page.
The % column is the total allocated time on the project per month per Staff. This will also be adjusted by changing the percentages in the Months Section.

Months Section

Understanding Months

In the Months Section, the percentages can be edited per Staff per month. When you do this, the total allocated percentage column in the Staff Section will be automatically adjusted.
Schedule Milestones will be shown in the Months Section.
After inputting Start and Finish dates for the project, these will now be tied to the Precon and Construction Staff. For example, the Precon Staff will start ahead of the Construction Staff in the Months Section. These fields can be edited at anytime.
Precon Staff will always have a one month overlap into the Construction months, but if you do not want this overlap, you can enter a zero value percentage for all staff to remove that overlap month.

Rates Section

Understanding Rates

Your burden/escalator amounts (IT/week, iPhone/week, etc.) can be auto-filled from the GCGR setup/edit screen. These fields can be edited at anytime.
You can overwrite the hourly rates if needed. When doing so, the blue checkmark icon will turn gray. This means the value has been edited from the calculated amount. To revert back to the original calculated amount, remove the value and press the ENTER key.
On the far right of the Rates Section are Grand totals per Staff.
Hourly rates can compound for raises. These raises are entered in the GCGR setup/edit screen. The compound raise logic is explained here.

Note: In the Staff Section you have the ability to add more Phases. Please see our Managing Phases article for more information.
