Work types are commonly used to define the type of activity rather than the individual performing it. However, Intervals offers flexibility—you can set work types per person and assign specific rates. This approach allows for various custom setups to suit different team needs. For example:
Junior Copywriting
Senior Copywriting
OR
Bill – Copywriting
Sam – Copywriting
OR
Bill – Rush Fee
Bill – Regular Fee
Bill – Non Billable
When a new project is created the defaults get pulled into the project and then you can delete work types (people) that are not needed for that project and edit the rates if needed for that particular project. If you have a lot of people the drop menus could get pretty big and people will see other people in the drop down menus so that might be a concern.
There is a way to set a default work type for each person. If you use this approach their name would be automatically selected whenever they apply time. Information on how to associate people with work types is available here.
