No program fee. No software fee. No purchase order.

Nothing — no software fee, no licences, no implementation charge, and no purchase order to raise. The program is funded by the agencies that participate in it. The order is what matters: your schools approve the hours, your district pays one consolidated invoice at the bill rates your own office approved, we remit each agency its share out of that payment, and the participation fee is deducted from the agency’s remittance. It happens on the agency’s side of the line and only after your payment has been collected, so nothing the program earns is ever added to a rate your district approved or taken out of district funds.

By the agencies that participate in it, and only after your district has paid. In order: your schools approve the hours; you receive one consolidated invoice at the bill rates your office approved and pay it; we remit each participating agency its share out of that payment; and the participation fee is deducted from that remittance. So the program is funded on the agency’s side of the invoice, out of what the agency billed — never added to a rate your district approved, never billed to the district, and never deducted from anybody before your payment has been collected. What each agency agrees to is a term of the participation agreement it signs with us; it is not a district term, and it cannot change what your district owes. The sequence is laid out step by step on what it costs your district.

Agencies price the fee like any cost of doing business — the counterweight is that every opening is competed by multiple agencies under a maximum bill rate your office sets and can lower on any posting, with every submitted rate visible side by side. An agency that pads gets undercut. Compare winning rates to what you pay those same agencies today; that's the real test.

Every agency’s approved hours become one invoice. Workers clock in and out on the platform, your schools approve the time, and approved hours from every participating agency consolidate into a single itemized invoice per period — instead of separate bills in separate formats on separate cycles. Each line traces back to a placement, a rate you set, and school-approved hours, so your business office reconciles one document rather than five. The agency participation fee is deducted from each agency’s remittance after your district has paid; it is never added to the rate you approved.
