Invoices shall be supported by detailed electronic information in a format as agreed with the Trust. This detailed electronic information is to be presented in a format prescribed by the Trust in order to allow immediate uploading onto the Trust's financial system. In support of the invoice the Provider shall provide a timesheet (electronic where required by the Trust) that must be used by all Supply Agency Workers. Timesheets must indicate that all breaks are unpaid and must not be added to hours worked. Completed timesheets shall be submitted electronically (either by the Supply Agency Worker or the Provider) to the Trust for authorisation. The Provider shall only process timesheets that have been authorised by the Trust. The Trust will advise the Provider if auto-approval of timesheets is required for their Contract prior to commencement of the Contract. As a rule, the default position will be that timesheets are not approved automatically. Should there be a dispute regarding hours worked, the hourly rate, statutory contributions or the commission claimed by the Provider in respect of a Supply Agency Worker, the Trust reserves the right to withhold payment of the sum in dispute until such time as the matter can be resolved. The Provider will ensure that the consolidated invoice does not include such amounts so as not to delay payment of the remaining authorised sums. The charge day rates are fixed for the 3 years and can only be varied by up to the NLW uplift for the relevant year Any changes to the charge day rates will not take effect until they have been mutually agreed by both parties in accordance with the Change Control Procedure of the Contract. The contract terms and pricing will roll into the extension periods unless any amendments to clauses or pricing is requested and negotiated. Variations will not take effect until they have been mutually agreed by both parties in accordance with the Change Control Procedure of the Contract. The charge day rates cannot be increased at any other time during the year,"
