Employee rate data

What it means

What this means

What it is

Per person rates are unique hourly billing and cost rates assigned to individual employees, ensuring that their work is priced and costed correctly.

Who needs this

Consultancies, law firms, and agencies where billing and internal costs depend on the experience level of individual team members.

The problem

Flat rate averages hide the true cost of delivery

Billing every person at the same rate hides resource imbalances. If a senior partner tracks heavy hours on a flat-rate project, the delivery cost climbs, but standard flat reports show the project is on track, hiding margin loss.

Sound familiar?

Signs this is happening on your team

  • Senior and junior hours are valued at the same rate in reports
  • You cannot calculate margins based on individual salaries
  • Manual math is required to calculate billing for mixed-level teams
  • Employee rate updates require rebuilding project budgets
  • Invoices fail to show individual rate breakdowns requested by clients
The cost

What this costs you

Using flat-rate averages leads to inaccurate margin reports, under-billing for senior hours, and poor resource decisions on fixed-fee projects.

The solution

Individual billing and cost rate tracking

TimeTracker assigns secure, individual billing and cost rates to each employee. When they log time, the system values their hours using their rates, feeding accurate costs and billing metrics into live dashboards.
