Set staff cost rules

These settings are cost assumptions for reports. They are not payroll or legal rules. Changes also affect past staff cost estimates, so review the dates before saving.

1. Open Team, then open Cost settings.
2. Set Standard hours per day, the daily threshold before extra hours. For eight and a half hours, enter 8.5 or 8:30.
3. Set Extra-hours rate as a multiplier of the person’s hourly cost. 1.6 means 60% more; do not enter a currency amount or 60.
4. Check the intended values and their effect on past estimates, then select Save settings.
5. Reopen Team reports for dates before and after the change. Check the hours and staff cost totals.

For a person’s hourly rate, see set a staff hourly cost. For the meaning of the staff cost value, see report metrics.
