Terminology
What is the difference between Cost / Hr and Charge Out / Hr?
The Employee Cost Rate / Hr is used for standard fixed price and Lump Sum claim methods, and the Employee Charge Out Rate / Hr is used for a Cost Plus claim method contract.
Employee Cost Rate / Hour = the amount it costs to employ the worker or employee.
Employee Charge Out Rate / Hour = Employee Cost Rate / Hour + Profit Markup
