Set a staff hourly cost

Use this to enter a person’s initial hourly cost or record a genuine rate change. Cover uses the estimate with recorded hours; it is not a payroll statement.

1. Open Team. Use All staff to find anyone, Worked in period to focus on people with hours in the selected dates, or Needs attention to find missing costs and records to review.
2. Select Add cost beside the person. If a cost already exists and the person’s rate changed, select Manage cost and add a new estimate.
3. Enter the hourly cost and the date it became valid. Use the amount and currency provided by the restaurant. A future date schedules the rate.
4. Save the estimate. Earlier rates remain in history for earlier dates.
5. Check the person’s cost history and Staff cost for a report period that includes the start date.

See correct a saved hourly cost for a mistaken rate, or staff cost rules for restaurant-wide estimate settings.
