Manage template roles and rates

The Rates Templates page allows administrators to define, view, and manage hourly rate settings for different roles within the organisation. These templates are used to standardise pricing for internal cost tracking and external billing.


Purpose

Rates templates help you:

  • Maintain consistent pricing across similar job roles.

  • Easily apply standardised internal and external billing rates to tasks, projects, or assignments.

  • Improve reporting, quoting, and payroll alignment.

  • Use internal rates for payroll cost estimation and external rates for client billing or quoting.

  • Archive outdated or unused templates to reduce clutter.
