Time and money
One approved week is the receipt. The client pays from it, and every supplier bills from it.
- Only the person who worked the week files it. Nobody else may.
- The client approves it first. Then each firm below accepts the same week, in turn.
- A supplier sends its invoice only for weeks the client approved, and only for the hours accepted.
- On the menu, a firm’s bills are under Accounting, in Receivables. A client has only Payables.
- A supplier is paid on its matched invoice, in Payables. Employees are paid in Payroll.
| A failed check on an invoice receipt | Can a person waive it? |
|---|---|
| No approved week or expense behind a line | Never waived |
| A week billed twice, or totals that do not add up | Never waived |
| A rate that differs from the contract | Never waived. Change the contract instead. |
| Hours under query, or an order being topped up | Yes, with a name and a reason |
