# Changing a Team Member’s Rate on a Specific Project

Adjust billing rates for individual projects without affecting the member’s default rate.

If a team member works at different bill rates depending on the project, Mosaic allows you to override their rate on a project-by-project basis. This lets you reflect negotiated pricing or client-specific contracts without changing their global rate.

### **Before You Start**

Make sure your project is configured to use **Member Rates**.

### **When to Use This**

-   When a team member’s rate differs by project or client.
    
-   When certain projects have discounted or negotiated pricing.
