I can't tell you how to hide the contents of a field, but this might 
serve your purpose, assuming that you're paid a regular hourly wage. How 
about setting a constant (see http://orgmode.org/org.html#References and 
search for "Named References")? You can do this in a property in the 
table. Have a column formula that multiplies the number of hours worked 
times the constant.

For day-to-day purposes, you'd define the constant as "0" or "1". When 
it's time to export and print your html file, change the constant to 
your actual hourly rate and recalculate.
