1. Select the billing type you want for the contractor. You get two options:

• Fixed rate: A fixed amount is paid every pay cycle, either monthly or semi-monthly.

• Pay-as-you-go: The amount is paid hourly or daily based on the work done in a given period.

1. Enter the billing rate of the contractor. This will be the amount the contractor charges for their services for a specific duration. You get two billing rate options for each contractor type:

Pay-as-you-go contractors will always have to raise the invoices based on their working hours/day.

The automatic invoice generation section gives you one of two options depending if it is enabled or disabled:

• Automatic invoice generation is enabled - The invoice will be generated on the selected dates.

• Automatic invoice generation is disabled: On the selected date, contractors will receive reminders to create invoices manually.
