We have released several recent enhancements to our Labour Budgets feature, aiming to make the feature more useful, informative, and intuitive.
Create Budgets by Team, Team Group, or Location:
Previously, users could only set budgets at a Team level. We have expanded this to include Team Group or Location-level budgets. This setting can be changed on the Labour Budget Settings page via the ‘Budget Grouping’ option.

Quick Fill Budgets:
Users can now 'quick-fill' their budgets for multiple teams/team groups simultaneously for an extended date range. Features include:
  • Select any date range.
  • Choose multiple teams/team groups within a location.
  • Set daily budget patterns (for each day of the week).
  • Apply patterns across your entire date range with one click.
This feature can be accessed via the 'Bulk Fill Budgets' button on the Budget Planner pages.

Include On-costs in Rostered Employee Cost Budget Comparisons:
Users can now enable the new 'Include on-costs' setting to add superannuation, payroll tax, and other on-costs to rostered employee cost calculations. This provides more accurate cost comparisons when viewing the comparison statistics below within rosters:
  • Rostered vs Budgeted Employee Costs
  • Forecasted Wage as % of Revenue vs Budgeted Wage as % of Revenue.
Note:
If enabled, this setting applies organisation-wide.

Updated Roster Integration
Budget comparisons in our 'roster view' now work with the following new grouping options:
  • Team Group Budgets
    will compare against combined costs from all teams in the group.
  • Location Budgets
    will compare against combined costs from all teams at the location.
  • On-cost integration:
    When enabled, roster comparisons automatically include on-costs.
Note that budget statistics will only appear when budgets have been set for the selected grouping level.
You may also notice some other minor UI updates, designed to make the feature more user-friendly overall.
