How Can I Charge my Client for Overtime for an Hourly Item?

Here's how you can use the hourly rates to charge your clients a higher rate for exceeding the minimum time booked.

This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.

Let's say you've got Event Staff booked for 55.00 per hour for a minimum of 8 hours.
If booked longer, their rate increases 1.5x for each additional hour.

  • First, create the service in your inventory and ensure the pricing is set to hourly:

  • Then, we'll need to add the minimum time booked (8 hours) and the total cost ($55 x 8 = $440).

  • Next, add the higher rate for the additional hours. $55.00 x 1.5 = $82.5. For an additional 8 hours, that would come to $660.00

Finally, on a project, if we add the item for 9 hours, we'll see the rate correctly calculated to $522.50.
