Rates can be assigned to staff members based on the work codes set up for the company. This enables the company to assign individual rates to staff members while maintaining a standard set of work codes across the company.

You can also set work codes to a zero (0) rate to record time at no charge.

Note: Staff members without a standard rate can still post entries to time. Their rate will amount to zero.

Staff rates have the following properties:
