πŸ” What is the Bill Rate Tab?
This tab reflects the bill rate originally configured in the Job Order and lets you view or adjust it for each candidate on a daily basis (if allowed). It looks and behaves just like the Timesheet and Pay Rate tabs, but instead of showing hours or pay, it displays the billed amount per candidate for each scheduled day.

You’ll find two billing types here:

  • Hourly Fixed Bill Rate: Editable by date for each candidate

  • Monthly Fixed Bill Rate: Non-editable, pre-filled and locked

πŸ“Œ Why This Matters
Having access to and control over the bill rate helps ensure:

  • Consistency between job orders and invoicing

  • Flexibility to adjust for client-specific agreements or changes

  • Real-time visibility into weekly revenue

  • Accurate billing totals for each candidate

🟒 What You Can Do Here

🧭 Navigate to this page via β€œView Companies > Bill Rates” (auto-selects the company)

🏒 If the company has one location, it’s pre-selected. Otherwise, select manually.

πŸ’Ό The Job dropdown updates based on selected company and location.

πŸ‘₯ Candidates assigned to the selected job show up with their scheduled shifts.

πŸ•˜ Current week and Hour View are selected by default.

πŸ’‘ Bill Rate Types
Depending on what was set during job creation, bill rates behave differently:

1. Hourly Fixed Bill Rate

When a job has an hourly bill rate, you can:

  • Edit the rate per day for each candidate

  • View gross billed amount for the week

  • Track changes through the Audit Log

  • Auto-propagate changes to future days

πŸ”„ Use this for roles with fluctuating billing needs (e.g. surge rates, overtime billing)

2. Monthly Fixed Bill Rate

For monthly billing:

  • Rate fields are greyed out

  • Values are non-editable

  • Weekly billed total remains visible

This keeps monthly agreements intact and prevents unintended changes.
