Bill rate--if you charge this client more or less than your default rates
for instance if the client has more care needs, so you charge more
Caregiver bill rate--if you charge this client more or less than your default rates, just for a specific caregiver
for instance, if the client's niece is on your staff, but you don't charge the client as much when the family member provides the care
Pay rate--if you pay any caregiver who goes to this particular client more (or less) money
similar to A...if the client is particularly difficult, or particularly easy to care for, you might pay the caregivers a different rate
Caregiver Pay rate---if you pay a specific caregiver something other than the default rate, only at this client
similar to B...if the niece is providing the care, you might pay her less for providing care to her relative
Please note that there is a hierarchy built into the system from where the billing system obtains the rates. Bill Rate hierarchy is for the Invoicing, and Pay Rate hierarchy is for the Payroll calculations.
Bill Rate Hierarchy: There are many modules in the system where the Bill Rates and Pay Rates are defined. When the schedule is approved and is searched for invoicing, the system searches for the rates in various modules in the system in a hierarchical manner. If the rates are found at any level, the system stops searching for the rates at the next level and applies the rates on schedules. The hierarchical manner is as follows:
BillRateOverride - Bill rates defined at schedule level
ClientCaregiverBillRate - Bill rates defined at Client profile > Rates > Add New Caregiver Bill Rate
ClientBillRate - Bill rates defined at Client profile > Rates > Bill Rates
PayerBillRate - Bill rates defined at Payer profile > Rates > Bill Rates
CommunityBillRate ( In case of ALP Clients) - Bill rates defined at Community profile > Rates > Bill Rates
OfficeBillRate - Bill rates defined at Office Settings > Rates > Bill Rates
