What it does

Checks every submitted timesheet against the contractor's own contract: the agreed bill rate and the maximum weekly hours. If an entry bills above the contracted rate or pushes the contractor's week over their hour cap, it is flagged and the contract owner is emailed before the entry can be paid.

When to use it

Use it when contractors have individually negotiated rate ceilings and weekly hour limits, and you need to catch entries that quietly exceed those terms rather than relying on invoice-stage review.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook fires on timesheet submission.
  2. 2Fetch the contractor's contract terms and their current week-to-date hours from Airtable.
  3. 3Validate the entry: compare billed rate to the contracted rate and sum weekly hours against the cap.
  4. 4Branch: compliant entries are tagged validated and stop.
  5. 5For violations, write the specific violation type onto the entry record in Airtable.
  6. 6Email the contract owner the violation detail so they can correct the entry or amend the contract.
