Project specific hourly pay rates

Hi All,

I know this has been asked before, but some of the answers are now out of date as the appearance of Clarizen/location of buttons has changed.

I have two questions regarding this:

1) How can I set project specific rates for team members ( eg £10/h for project 1 and £20/h for project 2)

 

2) Can I change a member's role/Title for one project without affecting the other active projects (eg Engineer on Project 1 but Project Manager on Project 2)

 

What I have tried so far:

1) I go to the Project in question and then onto "add related" --> "Job Titles" and select the Engineer job title and give it a new hourly rate. (I have only an engineer as resource on the tasks in the project)

Once I go back to my project work plan The "Budgeted Cost" is not affected only the "Expected Revenue" and "Revenue Balance".

A further way I have discovered is via "Utilities" --> "Prices and Rates", but that again only affects revenue not "Budgeted Cost"

2) If I go to Job Titles in the Project and change a member's Job title it changes the member's job title across all projects.

 

 

Thanks

The right place is to go to "Prices and Rates," but you can only set the Rate at the work item level (what you bill to a customer), not the hourly resource Cost (what you pay).

Hi Josh,

thank you, that kind of makes sense. However, it doesn't seem to allow me to change the role/job title of a resource. Is this something that it should be doing?

You should be able to change both job titles and rates from that window. If you can't it is probably a permissions issue (you need managerial rights on the project + financial permissions). Also the project cannot be closed. If that still does not work, please open a ticket and we can investigate.

OK, so I am able to change the job title for the project, however, if I change both job title and a custom rate, then it resets the job title to the original title and only uses the custom rate. 

In a way this makes sense as the custom rate overrides the job title anyway - is this intended?
