Add Artist Rates

Artist Rates, or Cost Rates, are set up in the Resource page for each Artist. You can either access these via the Resource List in the Main Menu, or by using the blue information icon next to any Resource on the main Schedule page.

To input Artist Rates:

1. Open the Resource you want to add Rates to. The Services tab should be open in the lower half of the screen
2. Select the Staff Cost Currency
3. Select the Staff Cost Rate Card
4. Use the following three fields to enter the Regular, Overtime (O/T) and Weekend (W/E) Day Rates as appropriate
5. Click Save

This assumes that the cost incurred is the same regardless of the Service that the Artist is performing. 

It is also possible to record a Rate for each Service an Artist can perform. This is useful if each Service incurs a different overhead cost. For example, an Artist could use both Flame and Nuke. However, if the cost of providing Nuke is a lot cheaper than Flame, then even though you pay the same rate for Artists time, using Flame should attribute a high cost to the Project. To enable this, please contact CETA.

Please Note: From 2024, Artist Contracts supercede this method of adding Artist Rates.
