Billing Rate

This column displays the billing rate applicable to the employee (vendor)/labor category for the entered fiscal year/period/subperiod. After Costpoint is operational, the Load Labor Rates screen updates this field.

Billing Rate Before Discount

Enter the billing rate before discount. This is for informational purposes only. If you are not using billing discounts, this column is hidden. The Load Labor Rates screen updates this field. 

Rate Type

Use this drop-down list to select the rate type for this project's PLC. Valid options are:

  • A: Actual
  • B: Billing
  • C: Ceiling Rate
  • S: Standard

The A rate type divides actual amount paid by actual hours (actual amount/actual hours) to obtain the rate during the Load Labor Rates process. The A selection allows the application of multipliers to the rate for revenue and billing calculations. The B rate type uses the T&M project rate that does not include multipliers. The C rate calculates the A rate, then compares it with the ceiling and uses the lesser of the two rates. The C selection allows the application of multipliers to the rate for revenue and billing calculations. The S rate is equal to the Salary or Hourly rate per employee on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen. This rate reflects the standard rate without any auto adjusting on the timesheet. Multipliers are applied against the S rate type. After Costpoint is operational, the Rate Type field is updated during the Load Labor Rates process.

Effective Bill Date

Enter the effective bill date used for retrieving billing rates.

Allowable Hours

This column displays the allowable hours for this employee (vendor)/labor category for the entered fiscal year/period/subperiod. The allowable hours are the billable hours. Non-billable hours are not included here.
