Your rates and getting paid

Your rate sheet is what you charge READI Collect for a collection, and your invoice is how you get paid for it. In this guide we go through what each rate on the sheet covers, how the per-test rates work, and how to send us an invoice once a collection is finished.

Step 1

Your rate sheet and service rates

Your rate sheet lives on the Collector page. You fill it in during setup and can change it there any time. Leave blank any service you do not provide.

Collector → Rate sheet

What is the minimum / base fee?
This is your minimum fee for a collection the client requests between 8:00am and 5:00pm on a business day.
What is the call-out fee with more than 72 hours notice?
Your call-out fee when a collection is scheduled more than 72 hours ahead, in place of your base fee.
When does the after-hours fee apply?
It is added to your base call-out fee for collections after normal business hours, on weekends and holidays, and from 5pm to 7:59am local time on weekdays.
What counts as time on site?
This is not travel time. It is only the time from when you arrive on site to when you leave the collection site, billed in 15-minute increments.
How is mileage worked out?
Charge for the miles you drive to the collection site, one way. The distance shown on the request is a straight line, so your driving distance will usually be a little more. We use it to check the mileage on your invoice.
When is the cancellation fee paid?
If you have accepted a request and it is canceled with under 24 hours notice, you are paid your cancellation fee and your mileage.

All collection requests are expected to be acted on with the utmost urgency, so only accept a request you can complete immediately. The rates you enter are what READI Collect will expect you to apply to your invoice to us. Below the notes are the six rates for the visit itself, and the questions under this step explain each one.

Step 2

Per-test rates

The per-test rates are what you charge for each test you collect.

Collector → Rate sheet → Per-test rates

What if some of my rates need to be reviewed?
The Rate sheet page tells you if any of your rates need a review by the READI Collect team, and you can take collections again once they are accepted.
Enter a rate for each test you collect, then click Save Enter a rate for each test you collect, then click Save Enter a rate for each test you collect, then click Save Enter a rate for each test you collect, then click Save

These rates are for the collection only. Lab testing is billed separately. If you use your own rapid test device, that is an additional fee, entered under Rapid test device. Any other collection devices and materials are included in your per-test rate. Save sends the whole sheet to the READI Collect team.

Step 3

Invoice us and get paid

Once a collection is finished, send us your invoice for it at the rates on your sheet. We pay net 30, but we typically pay within days of verifying the invoice amounts.

My Collections → Completed → Send invoice

What does a typical invoice look like?
Your base call-out fee, at your rate. Then time on site. If you were on site for 30 minutes and your rate is $30.00 an hour, that line is $15.00. Then mileage. If you drove 15 miles to the collection site and your rate is $0.76 a mile, that line is $11.40. Then one line for each test you completed, such as Screening breath (BAT) and Urine, each at your rate, plus the rapid test device fee if you used your own device.
When do I get paid?
We pay net 30, but we typically pay within days of verifying the invoice amounts.
I sent the wrong file. Can I change it?
Not from Collection History, because an invoice cannot be changed once it is sent. Get in touch with us and we will replace it for you.

My Collections opens Collection History. Click Completed to see every collection you have finished, then click Send invoice beside the one you are billing. Choose your invoice file, a PDF or a photo under 10MB, and confirm. It goes straight to the READI Collect team, and the link changes to Invoice sent so you can open it again later.

You should now be able to
What is next

That is the money side covered. If you have not set up yet, Topic 8 walks through joining as a collector, and Topic 9 takes you through a collection from the offer to the finished paperwork.
