In this window you assign rates to employees.
The tasks per
hour rates are visible only to administrators and project managers, and are
completely hidden from the employees.
Click the 'New' link and define the
rates in the 'Per hour rates' section.
Tip:
right-click inside the employee list to check or uncheck the entire list.
Rate
rules hierarchy:
It is important to understand the
rates logic and hierarchy to avoid inaccurate billing.
The rule is: 'Specific employee rates override less specific
rates'.
The following
list describes the rate rules hierarchy:
1) 'Any project' + 'Any
task' (this is the less specific rate of all).
2) Specific project name
+ 'Any task'.
3) 'Any project' + specific task.
4) Specific project name +
specific task (this is the most specific rate).
If no employee
rate rule matches the task that is selected in the 'Input'
window, then:
1) If the task is a particular task,
the rate defined for that task in 'Particular task types' will be
used.
2) If the task is a general task, the project's
'Default hour rate' that is defined in the 'Project Details' window, will
be used.
Rates and currencies:
Rates are associated with
currencies. You can create a
seperate set of rules for every currency.
