Rates and costs

Temporic keeps two kinds of rate apart: what you charge clients and what you pay your people. This page explains where each is set and how Temporic uses it for invoices and payroll.

Who this is for: Admins, and managers who set up projects.

Billable rate

What you charge the client for an hour. Used on invoices and in project totals.

Example: Brightline Studio bills Harbor Coffee Co. $95 an hour.

Cost rate

What you pay the person for an hour. Used for gross pay in payroll.

Example: Brightline pays Sam Okafor $40 an hour.

Which billable rate applies

When someone logs billable time, Temporic uses the most specific rate it finds:

1
Person on the project
Used first

A rate for one person on one project, set in the project's Manage team under Rate.

Priya Nair on "Harbor Coffee Co. rebrand" = $120 an hour.

2
Project default
Otherwise

The project's Default hourly rate, used for everyone without their own rate.

"Harbor Coffee Co. rebrand" = $95 an hour.

Non-billable time (General work, Training & development, time off and sick time, or any entry marked not billable) is never invoiced.

Cost rates and payroll

An admin sets each person's Hourly cost rate and, if needed, an Overtime rate in People → Edit profile, under Cost rates.

Regular pay
Regular hours × hourly cost rate

Worked hours up to 40 in a Monday–Sunday week, plus approved time off and sick hours.

Overtime pay
Overtime hours × overtime rate

Worked hours past 40 in the week. Without an overtime rate, 1.5 × the hourly cost rate.

Only approved and locked weeks are paid. See .

Good to know

  • Only admins can set someone's cost rates, because only admins can edit other people's profiles.
  • An accountant with Invoicing access sees client billing rates; one with Payroll access sees pay rates and gross pay.
  • A person with no cost rate shows "Not set" on the accountant's Payroll page, and their gross pay is $0 until you add one.
