Managing Rates
Company role tier rates, per-profile overrides, and how rates apply to T&M billing.
Last updated: February 2026
Overview
Hourly rates in VesselOne are configured at two levels: company role tier rates (defaults by role) and individual profile rate overrides. These rates drive T&M billing and internal margin calculations.
Company Role Tier Rates
Navigate to Settings → Rates to configure rates by role.
- 1Find the role you want to set a rate for (e.g. Technician, Apprentice, Admin).
- 2Enter the hourly rate.
- 3Click Save.
Company role rates apply to all team members with that role unless overridden at the profile level.
Individual Rate Overrides
If a specific team member has a different rate to the company default for their role, you can set an individual override on their profile.
- 1Navigate to Members and open the team member's profile.
- 2Click Edit Profile.
- 3Enter their individual hourly rate in the Rate Override field.
- 4Click Save.
Rate Precedence
When costing time entries, VesselOne uses this order of precedence:
- 1Profile rate override — if set, this rate is always used.
- 2Company role tier rate — used if no profile override exists.
- 3No rate — if neither is set, a warning is shown on the work order.
