Hi,
We have a scenario where a crane costs us say £1,500 per day (8hr day). Even if the crane is only used for 1hr, we still get charged for the whole day. if we go over 8hr a day then it's charged at £45 p/h.
I don't really know how to establish a payrate using these figures. £1,500/8=£174p/h so I cannot simply use that pricing per hour, and that wouldnt accomodate the minimum unit of 1 day @ £1,500.
I found a post here http://www.planningplanet.com/forums/microsoft-project/545518/how-specify-rate-day-regardless-hours-worked-day [1] which suggested using a hammock task, but quite often the tasks where a crane would be required wouldn't be consecutive.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
