This is a critial feature when evaluating if Xero fits our practice of 280 clients. If we cannot have a chargeout rate per employee, we will not choose Xero. When will this happen?

Please introduce ASAP

This would be an amazing update. To include staff costs in the profitability tab.

This is really important for any consultancy that has differing chargeable rates for each members of the team.

Currently we create a task for each person to assign hours to.

Instead it would be good to have tasks that just say for example...

Stage 1 - Background Research & Inception

Stage 2 - Work up

Stage 3 - etc...

Staff can then log time against the relevant Stage and invoices are generated using the relevant staff billing rate!

A must have feature

Having the ability to assign charge-out rates by staff member, not by task, is critical to us.

Same for us, had to resort to creating tasks as staff names so we can individually set the rates per employee. Annoying!!
Come on Xero, pull your finger out!

I've spent hours setting up all our projects to now discover that it's impossible to set various rates per staff member. I set each staff member up as inventory items with a cost & sale price but projects only picks up the sale price and takes the cost price from staff rates within projects. Why can't it be overridden per task? We won't be able to use projects if this is not rectified asap.

We will need this feature in order to continue using Xero projects long term as staff rates will change during the course of a financial year.

We need to enter different pay rate for day shift / night shift, without this feature, we got stuck.

We also need this feature. It seems basic and the project function, which was the reason we moved from Quickbooks, is pretty useles without it. And we can't link it to the payroll function, which again negates all the positives and makes it unusable for us.

Please get this done asap. We've just switched the whole business over to Xero but then identified this issue, and we're going to have to abandon it as it's impossible to manage our projects.

Also, if I'm correct, if anyone get's a payrise o'r we raise dayrates because of inflation, that change will automatically change in all our past projects and all those numbers will be wrong.

Allowing an override to change the charge out rate on a entry would resolve this !!
I agree with the thread on this it is a critical update needed to Xero Projects
If this was done Xero Projects would become a very valuable product and I would be happy referring clients to use Xero projects.
I have recently spent hours assessing other product's but none are a good fit. Xero Projects is if we can get around this issue.

This is critical - any ideas on when this may become available?

Even with a small team, this is unmanageable. All that is required is a charge rate to be added to the same area that the cost rate is entered. Creating tasks per employee creates increased maintenance and management as each entry must be checked on every single project to ensure the correct employee rate has been applied to the project.

I have ended up creating duplicate Tasks with the staff members name on it to get different rates per staff memeber.

Having the same issues would elevate projects to the next level if this was added

Yet another feature I'd assumed I'd just missed - it must be somewhere surely....?! Nope.

Why do Xero half bake everything and then serve it? This is such a simple thing to get right - come on Xero; stop shooting yourself in the foot and listen to your customers.

I hope this gets more traction as Xero Project was one of the products we were looking into to migrate our workflow to.

Needed ASAP!!!

Yep need this when staff do different tasks
