Bill Rate by Job Title in User Profiles

Agencies can now charge applicants for staff time spent working on an application based on a bill rate that is associated with the job title of the person performing the work. For example, an agency can set up a flat bill rate for the Plan Reviewer job title so that fees can be calculated when the agency staff with the Plan Reviewer job title records their time on applications.

The new Bill Rate and Override Bill Rate fields are available in all implementations of Time Recording, which include plan review for permits and planning applications, mobile inspections and inspection detail for permits, and cases in code enforcement. Only agency staff with time recording management roles have permissions to override the job title bill rate.

In the example below, a $110 per hour bill rate has been added for the Plan Reviewer job title. When an agency staff member with the Plan Reviewer job title records time in the system, the hourly rate will be used in fee calculations.

Job Title Detail Page - Bill Rate for Time Recording Setup

This example illustrates one of the pages used for recording time. In this example, the agency staff member also has been set up with permission to override the default bill rate for the Plan Reviewer job title.

Example of Time Details Page for Recording Time

Allows agencies to use job title bill rates in fee formulas to charge at different rates when using time recording-related fees.

Steps to Enable

To enable this feature:

1. Navigate to Agency > Job Title.
2. Open each job title you want to add a Bill Rate to and add the Bill Rate in the Bill Rate for Time Recording section.

This bill rate is defaulted when agency staff enters time for the task performed. The default value will appear on the Add Time page but can be overridden at the transaction level by a user with the privileges to make the change. See Access Requirements below.

Tips And Considerations

Agencies will need to set up bill rates for job titles and adjust or create any time recording DMN models using the Bill Rate field.
