General Employees Override Grid

Field	Description
Employee	This field displays the employee number for the employee to whom the rate applies. Click and select an employee number from the drop-down list. Deltek populates the employee name in the Name field based on your selection on the lookup.
Name	This field displays the name of the employee to whom the rate applies. This field is automatically populated when you select an option in the Employee field.
Effective Date	Enter the date to begin using this rate. You can enter multiple rates for the same employee, with different effective dates, to create a schedule of rates. To create a default rate for an employee with multiple rates, leave this field blank for one of the employee's entries. This field is available only if Enable effective dates for labor billing rates is selected on the Miscellaneous tab of the Billing Setup form.
Rate	Enter the override rate you want to use to for this category or employee, up to four decimal places (999,999,999.9999).
Rate Type	Select a rate type from the drop-down list. The cost and max cost rate types are used only with the Rate times multiplier labor method, as specified on the Labor tab of the Billing Terms form. The available rate types are the following: Billing: Billing rate. Deltek does not apply multipliers on a rate times multiplier project if a billing override is specified. This rate type can also be used to override any standard rate in a rate, category, or labor code table. Cost: Cost rate. This rate type overrides the employee cost rate for billing purposes only. Max cost rate: Employee's maximum allowable cost rate. Deltek uses the lesser of the employee's job cost rate (in effect when the transaction was posted) and this rate, when rate times multiplier is selected as the labor method from the Labor tab of the Billing Terms form. When you use the Rate times multiplier labor method and the Max cost rate Rate Type, if the employee is not found on the General Employee Override tab, Deltek looks to the Max Cost By Category Override tab. If an employee belongs to a category listed in the table, Deltek uses either the employee's job cost rate (in effect at the time of posting) or the override cost maximum, whichever is lower. Each of the non-zero multipliers are applied to the value selected.
Category	If the By category labor method is selected from the Labor tab of the Billing Terms form, select the category to override for the employee. When you override the category, the employee is placed in the override category with the rate specified in the Rate field. If no rate is specified, Deltek uses the rate assigned to the category. You cannot use this field to override the rate for an entire category.

Click the icon to select one of these actions for that row: Delete: Choose this option to delete the employee rate override entry. Copy: Choose this option to copy the employee and rate details as a new employee rate override entry, excluding the effective date.
Filter	Click this icon to filter the grid contents based on column values. For information about how the filter works, see Filter the Grid Results.
