A Job’s ‘charge type’ refers to the default unit by which Lessons on that Job are charged (i.e. per Lesson or per hour). For example, you might want to set a different charge rate to each Student assigned to a Lesson, or set a flat fee for all Students in a group Lesson, regardless of how many Students are assigned to that Lesson. The different Job charge types are as follows:
Per hour, for each Student: Lessons will be charged hourly, with the Job’s default rate being assigned to each Student on that Lesson.
Per Lesson, for each Student: Charges will be issued to Students’ paying Clients on a per Lesson basis, regardless of the Lesson duration. The Job’s default rate will be assigned to each Student on that Lesson.
Per hour, split between Students: Lessons will be charged hourly, with the Job’s default rate being split equally among the Students who attended the Lesson.
Per Lesson, split between Students: Charges will be issued to Students’ paying Clients on a per Lesson basis, with the Job’s default rate being split equally among the Students who attended the Lesson.
You can specify a default hourly/per-Lesson pay rate for Tutors on a Job via the ‘Default Pay Rate’ field located within System > Settings > Accounting Settings > General.
A default hourly/per-Lesson charge rate for your Clients can similarly be specified via the ‘Default Charge Rate’ field.
