Below gives you the details of how to create a Monthly Rate filter against a placement.
You can also create a pro-rata filter against a monthly rate.
When a worker is paid a monthly rate regardless of hours or days worked but they are still required to record their hours/days against a timesheet, you can set a monthly rate filter against the placement. The monthly rate filter will allow you to specify a minimum number of days which must be worked for the monthly rate to applied, otherwise a pro rata can be set.

| Field Name | Description/Purpose |
|---|---|
| Applicable When | This field is not mandatory but will help other users to understand the parameters and purpose of the filter. |
| Original Rate Name | This would be the no pay/charge rate (selectable by worker), you must enter the rate name exactly as it appears on the Main tab. |
| Monthly Rate Name | This would be the monthly pay/charge rate (not selectable by worker), you must enter the rate name exactly as it appears on the Main tab. |
| Minimum Days | Enter the minimum number of days that must be have hours or units entered against on the timesheet for the monthly rate to be paid to the worker. If the days worked is over the minimum days set, the full monthly rate will be paid. |
| Pro Rata Days | If the days worked is under the minimum days specified, days worked divided by pro-rata days will be applied. Enter the pro rata days to be applied, this is usually 20 or 21 days for the average number of working days in a month. |
...
Once complete, save the placement profile. This filter will result in the worker being able to enter days or hours worked as normal and upon submission of the timesheet for approval, the monthly rate will be automatically applied where the minimum days have been met or the pro rata rate where under the minimum days.

Pro-Rata = 10/19 = 0.526 = 0.53
Bill Amount = 0.53 * 65 = 34.45
Pay Amount = 0.53 * 55 = 29.15
