Set the cost rate for each individual on global level, instead of project level

There should be a way to set each individuals cost/rates on a global level. The devs, QAs, POs cost the same, no matter which project they work on and if we raise the rate of a dev, he/she will cost more on every project, it would be great if I wouldn’t have to make this change on every project, Cost Tracker would just pull the default value. There are already default costs for roles on a global level, why not for each individual as well? Each employee has a different salary based on their seniority level and geographical location, so it doesn’t help much to set roles, when a developer in Europe who is using the office, has much higher costs than a developer sitting in India on a freelance basis. For the billing rate, it makes sense to set it per role, but not so much for the cost.

    Any news about this idea?

    This would be very useful for correct cost management.

    I agree with this and we need this feature for our company.

    To set global rate for individual contributors / workers. Instead of different per project. Also there would be great to add feature for permissions to see and edit cost and billing rates only for specific users / groups

    Also, centralized user cost rates could require different view and edit permissions (HR, team lead) than role billing rates (PL/PM).
