   Today we received this email:
   
   

   When you say "set default billable rates" does this mean that the each USER can have a rate set, or do rates apply only to jobs or functions (which unfortunately is what most time accounting programs provide, which is of no use when you have junior and senior copywriters). Thanks

   
   
   Intervals is pretty flexible with how it handles work types. At Pelago, we do use them by type of work and not person, but we have seen a lot of different ways to do it. For example:
   
   Junior Copywriting
   Senior Copywriting
   
   OR
   
   Bill - Copywriting
   Sam - Copywriting
   
   OR
   
   Bill - Rush Fee
   Bill - Regular Fee
   Bill - Non Billable
   
   If you have a lot of people using Intervals this could get crazy pretty quick, but since Intervals is designed with small business in mind modifying the default work types to match your process usually works pretty well.
