Rates and Rules Overview

Rates and Rules is used to configure pay agreements and bill agreements. A pay agreement determines the level of pay and conditions of employment for workers in a specific industry or occupation. A bill agreement is an agreement between an agency and the agency's client that determines how the agency bills the client for providing labour.

Payee timesheets that are submitted, approved and released by the Time and Attendance module are processed by an Interpreter. The Interpreter runs as a service at regular intervals and processes any timesheets that have been released since it last ran. The Interpreter applies the rates and rules to the timesheet data in order to generate pay and billing data. This data is then passed to the Pay and Billing modules for payroll and invoicing purposes. This process is summarised in the diagram below.
