Client Rate Chart
The Client Rate Chart Report provides a detailed view of client-specific pay and charge rates across qualifications, expertise, and shift types.
It is commonly used by the Accounts, Payroll, and Relationship Management teams to confirm client agreements, rate reviews, and invoice/payroll alignment.
This report displays the agreed rates between your organisation (the labour hire or staffing agency) and a client for specific qualifications or service roles.
