Overview
The Accounting/Rates tab establishes the Bill Rates and Job Cost Rates for an employee. If no Rate Schedule is established on a project, this is where the Job Cost and Bill Rate numbers are captured.
Note: Bill Rates, Job Cost Rates and even Pay Rates can be overridden on a per project basis. Multipliers or Rate Schedules can be applied at any WBS level. To learn more about applying rates on per project basis. More on Applying Rate Schedules

Rate Options
Pay and/or Job Cost Rate information is sensitive and while permissions govern the types of reports a user can run, these employee-specific rate settings govern the kind of information employees can see when running various reports in InFocus (e.g. PM Reports, Custom Reports- except Pay History, Standard Reports and My Projects widget).
While defaulted to unchecked, employees can be given access to view each type of rate (Pay and Job Cost) either in detail or in summary. In Summary check boxes allow for aggregated cost in reports that do not show detail below the WBS level to be viewed. If left unchecked, reports will return a zero when labor cost is involved.
• | Can View Pay Rate - When checked, employees can see labor cost in report details |
• | Can View Pay Rates in Summary - When checked, employees can see labor cost in report summaries |
• | Can View Job Cost Rate - When checked, employees can see labor cost in report details. This setting defaults to unchecked. Note, this setting does not impact the Pay History report found in UT>Custom Reports. |
