Multiple Charge Out Rates for Staff
We would like multiple charge out rates for staff (that might be tied to work types). e.g. Staff Paul might have a charge out rate of $65 for a "General" work type and a charge out rate of $70 for a "Commercial" work type when servicing specialty equipment that requires specialised training.
Please comment as to whether it’s more important to have staff rates by work type or by customer. We have a method of doing this, and it’s planned however you feedback is appreciated.

Thanks Ross for the feedback. Here is what we are proposing we do:
1. Set a work type rate for each employee separately
2. Customer rate for work types are provided as an override so that they can be adjusted as needed per customer account.
3. Rate can be adjusted on the job at the time of entering the line item charging the customer. -

Not overly important which way it is done. In general our customers would be either General or Commercial and not both, so based on that it could be by customer. We don't presently use "Work Types" but from a database development point of view it seems to me that using work types to enable multiple rates for staff might be the more sensible way to go, otherwise there would be the challenges of priority between default customer rates and default staff rates. Rates associated with work types might be the bridge between the two; allowing for different levels of rates depending on the combination of staff experience and the work type. E.g. junior staff member having different rates for commercial and general work which would be lower than different senior rates for commercial and general work.
