Multiple Rates for Employees Across Projects

[Hodder]

Hi, we are in the process of switching to Microsoft Project 2003. We are a consulting firm that charges different rates for our consultants depending on the project. We want to be able to enter different rates of pay for the employees (resource) depending on the project. Our issue is that you can only have one rate per employee across all projects whereas we need to change it for some projects. Is there any way to do this? We would like to be able to look at total hours as well as total $$$.

Thanks.

Click on View | Resource sheet; double click on a resource name; click on the costs tab.

Click on Tab A. Click on the topmost cell in the Standard Rate column; enter a value (the billing rate for a programmer).

Click on Tab B. Click on the topmost cell in the Standard Rate column; enter a different value (the billing rate for a systems analyst).

Click on Tab C. Click on the topmost cell in the Standard Rate column; enter a value (the billing rate for a Project Manager).

Click on View | Task Usage; insert the column "Cost Rate Table"; insert the column "Cost".

Go to a task where the resource will be working as Programmer; in the Cost Rate Table column for that task select Table "A".

Go to a task where the resource will be working as a Systems Analyst; in the Cost Rate Table column for that task select Table "B".

Go to a task where the resource will be working as a Project Manager; in the Cost Rate Table column for that task select Table "C".
