EXAMPLE [B] - WITH THE CLIENT ENTERING THE TIMESHEET DETAILS Once the client has added the details and confirmed the Timesheet you can log into your itempaid Temp Portal account and check whether you agree with the details the Client has entered.

Be as clear as possible with your information, this will help to speed up the process of resolving any disputes, and minimize any need for either your Agency or the Client to contact you to clarify further. Once you have entered the reasons for raising this dispute you will see there is also a tick box option called Email Client, under normal circumstances then it will aid the process for you to tick that box so that the information you have supplied is e-mailed directly to the Client.

Once you are happy with the information you have entered, and have decided whether or not to email the Client then you simply need to click OK and this information will be sent to the Agency. If you have chosen to email the Client then you will be prompted to confirm this with a window like this one: If you made a mistake then you can click Cancel and choose to un-tick the Email Client box.

If subsequent to raising this dispute the information filled in on the Timesheet is altered, and the Timesheet is confirmed again by the Client, then you will receive notification of this so that you can log on and check that the alterations meet with your approval. If an authorised Timesheet has been incorrectly tagged as disputed at any stage then then you can choose to Un-dispute that Timesheet by clicking the icon to the bottom right of it: You will then be prompted to confirm your desire to Un-Dispute this Timesheet as per the image shown below: Once any Timesheets have been filled in, and any possible disputes have been resolved, then all Authorised Timesheets can be downloaded by your Agency for processing Page 10
