LOFT Resource › Administration
Crew
Overview
The Crew page is where you manage your team members. Each crew member has a profile with their role, rates, group assignments, and availability information.
Crew Profiles
Each crew member profile includes:
- Name, initials, and contact information
- Role and title within the organization
- Group assignments (department, division, location)
- Rate information: salary, bid rate, and loaded rate
- Currency for rate calculations
- Availability and working schedule
Rates and Costs
Crew member rates are the foundation of all cost calculations in LOFT Resource:
- Salary (Rate) — The base cost of employing this person per day
- Bid Rate — The rate charged to clients for this person's time
- Loaded Rate — The fully loaded cost including benefits, overhead, and taxes
Note: Changes to crew rates will affect future cost calculations but will not retroactively change historical cost data.
