Stipend / Per Diem Workflow

Per Diems allow a set of earn codes (meals, travel, incidentals, etc) to be added to an employee's timesheet based on the amount of worked time during the day or week. Per Diems can also be created for billing a client a daily rate, based on the amount of hours worked for an employee.

After setting up a Ruleset in Bullhorn Time & Expense, placements will be able to be configured in the ATS to allow Stipends / Per Diems. For steps on setting up Per Diem Rulesets see Creating Per Diem Rulesets.

Bullhorn ATS: Placement Configuration

When creating a Placement in Bullhorn ATS, the Per Diem Ruleset is associated with the Placement and the Per Diem Earn Codes must be added to the Rate Card.

When the Placement is sent from ATS to BTE, the assignment in BTE is stamped with the Per Diem Ruleset.

Bullhorn Time & Expense: Timesheet Calculations

When time is entered in Bullhorn Time & Expense, Per Diems will automatically be calculated based on the Per Diem Ruleset attached to the placement record.

The Per Diem is calculated at 100% based on the Per Diem Ruleset.

If time is adjusted below the 100% threshold set up in the Per Diem Ruleset, the Per Diem will be recalculated. In the above example, 8 hours were removed from the timesheet. Per Diem is recalculated, at .80% of the total amount.
