Step by step
- Go to Team › Engineers & team and click the engineer's tile (or fill it in when you invite them).
- On the Details tab, under Change role and pay, enter Pay per hour (£) and Pay per mile (£).
- Under Works as, choose Subcontractor if they are self-employed or a separate business you give work to, and fill in Pay per visit (£) and Business name if you use them.
- Press Save.
How it is used
The hourly pay is used as the engineer cost in reports, so you can see the margin on jobs. Subcontractors show a Subcontractor label on their tile; everyone else shows Employee.
For a subcontractor, each job's cost is their per-visit rate (when they led the job) plus hours times the hourly rate plus miles times the mileage rate, unless you enter an agreed cost on the job.
