Consultants especially, often make heavy going of the process of billing a client for hours worked on projects, especially in offices with multiple projects ongoing at the same time.

The process of client billing becomes even more complex if multiple rates apply, perhaps based on locations or, for overtime worked. In the case of billing the time of wages employees, multiple rates are often based on penalty rates which can mean several different sell rates for each trade.

The QTIME Client Billing module is powerful and flexible enough to handle even the most complex situations. As with the paycode generation module, the key here is that the person entering the time sheet does not enter the penalty rate information. Instead, rules are defined per client which enable QTIME to determine the correct rate type and sell rate to use for the hours captured. Thus the process of calculation becomes automated and errors are reduced or eradicated completely.

QTIME uses an effective date to enable the logic to be changed without affecting hours already captured and billed. This means that QTIME keeps a complete history of all hours worked including the rate at which they were billed if applicable.
