Hi,
I will explain how can you enter up pay rates for a resource to apply at different times in MS PROJECT 2010
Suppose that you have a Resource with name Mary. Mary is working on your project, and se has 300$ / day. From 23.06.2011 she will has +50% more (e.g 450$/ day)
First I will add two tasks and I will link them:
Now I will add Mary as Resource:
I have left Standard Rate $300/day.
Now I will add two pay rates for Mary. I will now +50%per day for Mary from 23.06.2011:
After I click OK I will get:
Now, I will assign Mary to the TASK 1:
You can see $7.200 in the Cost field. TASK 1 has 3 days duration, and Mary’s pay rate is $300/hour –> 3 days X 8 hours/day X $300 = $7.200
Now, I will assign Mary to the TASK 2:
You can see $16.800 in the Cost field. TASK 1 has 5 days duration, and Mary’s pay rate is $300/hour at 22.06.2011 and $450 from 23.06.2011 –> 1 day X 8 hours/day X $300 = $2.400 (22.06.2011) + 4 days X 8 hours/day X $450 (from 23.06.2011) = 14.400. $2.400 + $14.400 = $16.800
Now, I will choose the Cost Table:
and I will get:
.
If I delete row from pay rate:
I will get in Cost Table:
Why? TASK 1 has 3 day duration, and TASK 2 has 5 day duration = 8 days. 8 days X 8 hours / day X $300 / hour = 19.200.
Be very careful when you are adding or deleting pay rate for resurces.
See you!

You can’t get this directly. You can write a VB Macro for The Cost rate Table!
Hi dear
first I would like to say thanks for your above post, after that I would like to share one question with you which I have in mind, it is also something about cost calculation that’s why I am asking here:
How to set up different pay rate units such as ($/m, $/m2, $/m3, $/ton and so) … and that’s it. you know in most construction projects like building, roads, tunnel, canal even dam constructions cost of much of items such as excavation, drainage and so will calculated based on different pay rates as indicated above. for example if I want to setup cost of “excavation” task how I suppose to do that, if I have to setup unit pay rate of this task in resource sheets ? so which kind of resource I suppose to assign (work, material or cost resource) and how I use different pay rate ? or if I suppose to setup this kind of cost in different place, where is that place ?
with thanks and respect …
I’ll write a Blog post about your problem next week!
Regards
OH, its great … I will appreciate that.
thank you
best regards
