timesheets.setRate
Owner or office: set what an hour of a worker's time costs the shop (wage plus burden), or the shop default when person_id is left out. It applies from effective_from (default now) to time kept after that; time already kept keeps the rate it was kept at. null cost_per_hour_minor on a worker puts them back on the shop default. Needs see_costs.

When to use it
Keep the crew's time: timesheets.clockIn starts a clock on a job (category work) or for drive, shop or break time, and timesheets.clockOut stops it; one clock runs per person per shop (pass stop_running to switch). Forgotten time goes in with timesheets.add (start and end, at most 24 hours per entry); time never overlaps the same person's other time.
