The problem

One bill rate does not fit every shift.

The rate can change by client, job, location, shift, overtime, weekend, holiday, or premium. One wrong rule can reduce the invoice.

One staffing shift checked against bill rate, overtime, and shift premium rules.
01

Old bill rate

An old client bill rate is still used after the agreement changed.

02

Missing premium

A night, weekend, holiday, job, or location premium is missing or added twice.

03

Wrong overtime

The invoice uses the wrong overtime rule or multiplier.

Common questions

Simple answers.

What causes lost invoice revenue in staffing?

Common causes are missing hours, wrong bill rates, overtime not billed, missing shift premiums, late approvals, and records that do not match.

How is overtime checked?

BluContract compares the client’s overtime rule with the worker, shift, date, hours, and multiplier used on the invoice.

Why check each shift?

The correct bill amount may depend on the date, time, location, job, client, and worker. A weekly total can hide the wrong amount.
