Combine worksheets if...

Hi everyone,

I'm tinkering around with my macro right now and I need some help. At one point, my macro takes the data and splits it into several tabs according to name in a certain column.

This part works great. The problem is that it splits it into too many tabs. I'd like to combine them (or just keep them from splitting) depending on the name of the labor type.

What I'd like:

1) Combine if the first 8 characters of the Labor type/worksheet name are identical.
2) Also, combine all Clerical/Tech labor and Temp labor.
3) If there are two sheets that fit criteria 1 or 2, take the second sheet and move the data (minus the header row) onto the first sheet in the next open spot.

Here is my code that is used to split up the "Labor" tab into all the other tabs.

Dim wsSheet, Lws As Worksheet
Set Lws = Sheets("Labor")
Dim lastRate, lastRate2, rTab, rtab2, nxtRrw, I As Integer
Dim laborName, CostElm As String

'Loop Through Cost Element List, Create Sheet and
'Copy Row 1 (Labels) If Sheet Doesn't Exist

'Current Last Row
    lastRate2 = Lws.Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    
    For rTab = 2 To lastRate2
        Set wsSheet = Nothing
        laborName = Lws.Range("C" & rTab).Value
        On Error Resume Next
            Set wsSheet = Sheets(laborName & " Labor")
        On Error GoTo 0
            If wsSheet Is Nothing Then
                    Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
                    ActiveSheet.Name = laborName & " Labor"
                    Lws.Rows("1:1").Copy _
                        Destination:=Sheets(laborName & " Labor").Range("A1")
            End If
    Next
    
'Copy Rows To Next Open Row On Corresponding Labor Tab
    Lws.Select
        For rtab2 = 2 To lastRate2
            laborName = Sheets("Labor").Range("C" & rtab2).Value
                nxtRrw = Sheets(laborName & " Labor").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
                Range("A" & rtab2 & ":H" & rtab2).Copy _
                    Destination:=Sheets(laborName & " Labor").Range("A" & nxtRrw)
        Next

I've also included a sample workbook which includes some of the different labor types and tabs that go into a normal workbook

Thanks ahead of time!
