Hired subcontractor workers are not paid via salaries/payroll. They are paid via a purchase invoice that you receive from the subcontractor. The cost price of these hours can be different from the cost price (hours) of your own employees. Therefore, you can set up default cost prices (hour) for subcontractor workers.

You can set up subcontractor worker cost prices (hour), for these combinations:

• Category and Subcontractor.
• Category, Subcontractor, and Worker.
