How to invoice day-rate work
Record each agreed work day or partial day, then invoice the quantity at the contracted day rate.
Feature details
A practical Billoz guide based on UK official sources and the product workflow. Review the source links and your own circumstances before acting.
Billoz work sessions support different rate types, including day rates, fixed prices and quantities. Selected records become invoice lines and are marked invoiced.
Billoz does not decide what counts as a full day or whether overtime is included. Use the terms agreed with the client.
How it works
Save the client and agreed day rate.
Record each worked date and the billable day quantity.
Select the records and generate the invoice PDF.
Worked example
A contractor completes three full days and one agreed half day at £450 per day. They record each date and quantity, review the 3.5-day total and create an invoice line for £1,575. The description states the covered period without converting the agreement into an hourly rate.
Before treating a record as ready, compare it with the client agreement and its source evidence. Check the client, service period, quantity, rate, currency, tax treatment and payment terms independently. Resolve missing receipts or unclear descriptions while the work is recent. Preview the final document, confirm the intended recipient and keep the issued version in the account. After sending, record delivery, reminders and confirmed payments against the same invoice rather than rebuilding the history from email or chat. Billoz supports that workflow, but the account owner remains responsible for approval, classification and any professional advice required.
What it helps you do
Keep dates and notes behind each charge.
Handle full or partial days as agreed quantities.
Avoid converting day work into misleading hourly wording.
Client rates and work notes remain within authenticated account routes and are not sent to marketing analytics.
