Billing Plans
A Billing Plan is a reusable template that defines the structure of how timesheets are filled in—what time units are allowed and how they're organized per day.
What's Inside a Billing Plan
Time Units — Hours (24 per day) or Half-Days (6 per day)
Tier Grid — A week-long grid per day specifying which tier (A, B, or C) or NA (not available) applies to each time slot
Standard Hours — Expected hours per day (typically 8) that defines the boundary between standard and overtime tiers
Billing Cycle — Frequency (flexible, weekly, or monthly)
Why It Matters
Senders record detailed work in a private Journal, but the final Timesheet is constrained by the Billing Plan.
Example: UK Billing Plan
Uses half-day units (minimum work unit = 4 hours)
Grid might show: A, A, B, B, NA, NA (4 half-days available Mon-Fri, weekends off)
Example: US Billing Plan
Uses hourly units
Grid shows 24 hours per day with tiers A-C for standard/overtime/premium
Tiers for Rate Incentives
The grid uses Tier codes (A, B, C) to support different payment rates:
Tier A — Standard hours (e.g., £75/hr)
Tier B — Overtime (e.g., £100/hr)
Tier C — Premium/night work (e.g., £150/hr)
NA — Not available (off hours)
This allows you to incentivize or discourage long work days without forcing senders to lie about their hours.
Reusability
A single Billing Plan can be used by multiple Rate Plans across different senders in an assignment or across assignments. For example, "BP1: 8-hour hourly UK" might be used by 10 different senders, each with their own rate plan and pay rates.
