Special Employee Rates

The Special Employee Rates screen defines what special rates will be used when a particular employee is used in a job.

These rates affect the Actual Unit Price of the specified Labour Code.

In other words, the price of the job can vary depending on who is sent to do it.

For example, if the standard rate for Labour Code "SERVICE" is $50 per hour and employee Bob has a  Special Rate of $75 per hour (for Labour Code "SERVICE"), then whenever Bob is used for "SERVICE", the actual unit price charged to the customer will be $75 per hour instead of $50 per hour.

If different employees are used in the same job, then the average Actual Unit Price will be the weighted average of all the applicable rates.

This list of Special Rates have these fields – EMPLOYEE, LABOUR CODE, CUSTOMER, EMPLOYEE RATE.
