What is the charge type on a job?
The charge type allows you to set the default unit in which lessons are charged. For example, you might want to set a charge rate to each student that is assigned to a lesson, or set a flat fee for group lessons, regardless of how many students are assigned to a lesson. Here are the different types of charge types you can assign to a job and how they function:
Per hour, for each student: Lessons will be charged hourly, with the jobs default rate being assigned to each student on the lesson.
Per lesson, for each student: Charges will be issued on a lesson basis, regardless of its duration. The jobs default rate will be assigned to each student on the lesson.
Per hour, split between students: Lessons will be charged hourly, with the jobs default rate being split equally among all students assigned to the lesson.
Per lesson, split between students: Charges will be issued on a lesson basis, with the jobs default rate being split equally among all students assigned to the lesson.
What is a job cap?
A job cap is a limit on the number of units that can be scheduled for a job. The unit is specified by the charge type. For example, if the charge type was set to 'Hourly', and the job cap was set to 3, then no more lessons can be added to the job after 3 hours of lessons have been scheduled.
