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.
