assign different costs to a resource

change the view to ’Resource sheet’
select the resource
click ’resource information’ button on the standard tool bar
click ’costs’ tab
there are A,B,C,D,E 5 sets of cost you can set for the resource

But i think it does not work for set up week end cost

you may try ’overtime rate ’ in ’resource sheet’ for this week end issue

week end work is considered as overtime work
for a task, you need input overtime work manually.
for example task A start from Fri, dur is 7 days, so finish on Mon next two week, the task span 4 days as week end

the total work is 56hr, dur is 7 day

then you input 16hr of overtime work, then the dur change to 5day, and finish on next Thu.

But you can not specify where is this 16hr, it can be Sat/Sun or night shift of Mon/Tue

the only thing you can sure is the task has a total 16hr of overtime work.

Thanks for ypur help I know these but these are all manually I want to know if its possible to adjust at the begining of the project for example it may be a project which has 1 year duration. there is another way in resource information menu in the cost tab you can assign costs for different dates but if your project is long its hard to do that for all weekeds.

yes, it’s not reasonable to assign cost for all weekend for long dur project.

so maybe you can forget about weekend, just assign a overtime work hour for each task , just like you assign resource to each task. (provide where is these overtime is not important to you -- monday nigh or saturday)
