Global Employee Rate Settings Window

In this window you can define adjustments to the employee rates, which will be applied for all employees entering charges to this Account/Contract.

Employee hourly rate adjustment rules:

1.	Use standard rates for all employees (as is) - this is the default behavior, which means there are no special employee rates, and employee standard rates as defined for each employee under the Employee tab will be used.

Use fixed rates for all employees - when using this option, you should set a fixed rate, which will be used for all employee-rate charges entered by any employee for this Account/Contract.
Any time an Item whose Price Source is set to 'By Employee Rate' is to be charged to this Account/Contract, the fixed rate will be used instead of the standard employee hourly rate.

Adjust rate for all employees on a fixed percentage basis - in this option you should set the adjustment percentage, and it will be applied to all standard employee-rate charges entered for this Account/Contract.
Any time an Item whose Price Source is set to 'By Employee Rate' is to be charged to this Account/Contract, the defined percentage adjustment will be applied to the standard employee rate to calculate the Charge.

Rounding - Charge calculations are not rounded by default. You can set whether and how results will be rounded by using any of the suggested rounding options:

1.	The 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 rounding options let you set results with precision. Example: The number 83.127 will be rounded as follows:

•	0.01 => 83.13

•	0.05 => 83.15

•	0.1 => 83.2

•	0.5 => 83.5

•

1.0 => 84

'Nice' numbers - the 1.0 minus 0.01, 1.0 minus 0.05, 1.0 minus 0.1, 1.0 minus 0.11, 1.0 minus 0.5 rounding options will round numbers to the next whole number first, and then decrease it by the specified amount.
Example:
The number 83.127 will be rounded as follows - up to 84 and then down according to the option selected:

•	1 - 0.01 => 83.99

•	1 - 0.05 => 83.95

•	1 - 0.1 => 83.9

•	1 - 0.5 => 83.5

Note: Rounding is always upwards (e.g. 125.234 => 126)
