In projects, you can have a single resource with multiple pay rates.\u00a0 Some resources might perform different tasks with different pay rates. Or, you may have a situation where a single resource has differing pay rates over time. In Microsoft Project You can set up different pay rates for the same resource, and then specify which rate to use per assignment.<\/p>\n

For example, in the new construction project, the project coordinator could also serve as a scheduler. Because the costs for project coordinator and project scheduler are different, you can set up two cost rate tables for the resource (additionally, a cost rate table can include a standard pay rate and an optional overtime rate, and even a per-use cost). Then, after you assign the resource to tasks, you specify which pay rate should apply.<\/p>\n

When defining the resource in Microsoft project, each work or material resource can have up to five different pay rates, each recorded in a cost rate table. Cost rate table A is the default. Use a resource note to help document each role\u2019s pay rate.<\/p>\n

You set up pay rates in the cost rate tables on the Costs tab of the Resource Information dialog box. The default rate table (the rate Project applies unless you specify another one) is on tab A.<\/p>\n

  6. In the Standard Rate <\/strong>and Overtime Rate <\/strong>fields, enter the pay rate values you want. In addition to or instead of pay rates, you can also enter a value in the Per Use <\/strong>Cost <\/strong>field.<\/li>\n

    Example:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

    In the following Figure we have the resource sheet including our demonstration work resource, John Sloan.<\/p>\n

    \"Microsoft<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    John has a standard pay rate of $75\/hr. We want to define an additional pay rate for John. We proceed and select the resource tab and information icon.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    In the resource information dialog, we choose the cost tab and default cost rate table A. Note that our standard rate, $75\/hr. This default cost rate, A, is the cost when our resource , John,is working as a Project Coordinator.<\/p>\n

    \"Microsoft<\/a><\/p>\n

    Then we choose the cost rate table B, and enter a standard rate, $60\/hr, for our resource\u2019s Scheduler role.<\/p>\n

    \"Microsoft<\/a>
