Chippy,

There are less hours logged in the Time Recording system then are invoiced for.

Well 80% would give the developer £28.80 from a standard rate of £36 which is wrong.
So I figured that the developer rate is _marked-up_ by 20%, therefor working the other way (to establish the developer rate) you would expect to divide by 1.2.

Of course we could change this, when we discussed a £40 rate we figured on the developer getting £32 (80%), whereas following our existing system would mean the developer getting £33.33 per hour.

I personally don't care which way we do it, but perhaps we should decide?
