Note: An Administrator with appropriate security level can change this password at any time, ie. if the user has forgotten the password.

The Rate $ field should be populated with the hourly rate it costs to employ the person (not just their hourly pay rate but also included overheads), so there is a cost associated with their actual time logged against jobs. The cost will then appear in the job profit reports.
