Timesheets & billing

Locums rates are not one number. Your software shouldn't pretend they are.

A single assignment can pay hourly, bill per shift, add a 24-hour call rate, carry a beeper differential, include gratis hours and apply different holiday premiums to pay and bill. Thotara models that natively — and builds the invoice from the same approved hours the provider submitted.

  • Composable rate cards on every job order
  • Separate pay and bill structures with independent premiums
  • Provider submission, client approval, then invoicing
  • Margin visible per assignment, client and recruiter

Capabilities

From submitted hours to collected revenue

Rate cards, not a single rate

Compose hourly, daily, per-shift, 24-hour call, beeper/standby, procedure and gratis-hour components on one job order.

Asymmetric pay vs bill

What the provider earns and what the client is billed are separate structures — different units, different premiums, different minimums.

Timesheets from the provider

Providers submit hours in their portal against the actual schedule, with call and beeper hours captured separately.

Client approval flow

Facility approvers review and approve hours in the client portal, creating the paper trail before anything is invoiced.

Invoicing from approved hours

Invoices build from approved time with the right premiums, expenses and travel pass-throughs applied automatically.

Provider pay and direct deposit

Pay calculations from the same approved hours, plus signed direct-deposit authorizations stored with reveal-logged bank data.

Agreements that match the invoice

Confirmation letters, letters of agreement and PSAs carry the same rate terms the invoice bills, signed and event-logged.

Margin visibility

Gross margin per assignment, client, recruiter and desk — including travel and expense drag, not just spread on the hourly rate.

Approved hours drive pay, bill and margin together

One approval chain

The provider submits hours against the scheduled shifts. The facility approver signs off in their portal. Accounting invoices from that approved set and pays from the same set. There is no second entry point where the numbers can diverge, and every step is time-stamped for dispute resolution.

Questions

What finance teams ask

Can it handle 24-hour call with a beeper differential?

Yes. Call coverage, in-house call, restricted beeper and unrestricted beeper are separate rate components with their own units and premiums on each side of the transaction.

What about 1099 versus entity billing?

Both branches are supported end to end, including the correct agreement template, tax handling fields and payment path for each.

Do we still export to accounting?

Invoices and pay data are exportable, so your accounting system remains the ledger while Thotara stays the operational source of the hours.

Who can see bank details?

Only roles that need them, and every reveal is written to the audit log with the user and timestamp.
