# Organization Settings - Standard Work Categories

Set up the default Work Category to use within Mosaic

Work Categories allow you to create sub-phases, which can be either billable or non-billable.

## Create Standard Work Category

1.  Click **Add Work Category** on the top of the standard work category page in the organization setting > Standards > Work Categories.

2.  Enter the name of the new work category, and configure the toggles for requiring additional description and billable or non-billable.
    
    Click **Create**.
    
    > **Info:** If the standard work category has the same name as the existing custom work category, the existing custom work category will be converted to a standard work category.
