I need to post only a portion of a salaried employe's hourly rate to a project - i.e., employee earns $50/hour, I only want $30/hour cost applied to the project. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Our executives want to work on certain projects without the project manager being able to see their actual earnings (labor cost). At this point, PMs have access to labor cost detail. How can we apply a flat cost per hour for any time the execs post to a project? While still paying them their same salary paycheck?

Aloha Amber,

It sounds like you have two separate questions.

1. Posting a portion of a salary rate to a project

2. Posting costs to a project where the PM will not be able to view details.

For #1, this can be done in Allocator either for all charges to the Project or by Account Category or even on an individual by individual basis using an Alloc Multi-Level Rate. This is an odd request, but is doable.

For #2, at our organization we group all like employees into a Labor Category, average their salaries, burden this amount to include benefit costs etc, and assign the Labor Category a STANDARD LABOR RATE. At the end of the Fiscal Year we post the difference between standard labor rate and the actual. We also mention this in our Project Manager training that what they are viewing is not actual salaries but a standard labor rate.

Hope this helps.

Aloha,
