Rate Plans
Last updated
A Rate Plan is a per-sender payment table that defines what they get paid (and what clients are charged) at each tier defined in the Billing Plan.
Rate plans are two-sided:
Pay
What the sender earns per unit
Charge
What's billed to the client per unit
Each side has three tiers (A, B, C) that directly correspond to the tiers in the Billing Plan:
Tier A — Standard hours rate
Tier B — Overtime rate
Tier C — Premium/night rate
You can pay senders in one currency and charge clients in another:
Sender gets paid: £75/hr (GBP)
Client is charged: $95/hr (USD)
Each sender gets their own rate plan within an assignment, allowing:
Different rates for different skill levels (Alice: £75/hr, Bob: £100/hr)
Scheduled rate changes — Update rates on a specific date without affecting timesheets already submitted
Multiple effective periods — You can have Rate Plan v1 (Jan 1 - Jun 30) and Rate Plan v2 (Jul 1 onwards)
Every Rate Plan references a Billing Plan, which defines the tier structure and time units:
"Use billing plan BP1 (8-hour hourly grid) with these rates: Tier A £75/hr, Tier B £100/hr"
Multiple senders can share the same billing plan but have different rate plans (different pay rates)
