Value Wage – the Value of Volunteer Time
Designate the value wage for all jobs. In File | Preferences | General tab you can update the default value wage for all or most jobs at once. When you enter a Value Wage amount and click OK, a message asks you, “since you have changed the default value wage, do you want to update all jobs that use the default value wage with this new amount?” Click Yes.
Individual jobs can have another value wage. In Jobs/Clients | Info tab | Value Wage $ set the amount. Alternatively, you can check the box to Use default value wage
