Travel and transport rates
What travel costs and what it earns. Rostery keeps a different kilometre rate for a worker’s own car, a company van and a modified (WAV) vehicle, because they are not worth the same — and a default transport item number, because kilometres are billed from the price book rather than from a rate typed here.
Step by step
- 1
Open Settings and click Travel & Transport.
- 2
Set the Default travel km rate and the Default travel time rate — the fallback when nothing more specific applies.
- 3
Set the Own-car km rate for a worker using their own vehicle.
- 4
Set the Company van km rate and the Modified (WAV) vehicle km rate. Which one applies is decided by the vehicle recorded on the shift.
- 5
Set the Default transport item # — the price book item kilometres are charged against. Without it travel is recorded but never billed.
- 6
Set the Therapy travel % and the date it takes effect from, if you deliver therapy supports under the reduced travel rule.
- 7
Tick Apply defaults to new shifts so these rates are used from now on.
- 8
Use Update uninvoiced shifts from with a date to push a rate change back onto shifts that have not been invoiced yet. Re-stamp applies it.
- 9
Click Save.
