In your financial overview, you can download your invoices and other important documents. Your sales invoice has a reference number beginning with the letter M and is your invoice to your client. It includes all the essential details of the shift you worked.
Your information and the clients information
Shift details, such as date, hours worked, and hourly rate
VAT information (if applicable; if not, no VAT will be included)
On your sales invoice you can also find the reference number of the collective invoice starting with a C. The collective invoice is the invoice that is sent to the client and can include multiple invoices from different FreeFlexers. If you need to ask the client about your payment, refer to this C number as it’s what they’ll recognize.
Invoice Date
The date on your sales invoice (M) is the date that it’s officially sent to the client, though you might receive the actual document a bit earlier. Here’s why: as soon as your shift checkout is approved, your sales invoice is created. However, client collective invoices (C) are only sent out on Mondays and Thursdays. Though for bookkeeping purposes it is important both invoices have the same date on them.
The invoice date (not the shift date) is essential for record-keeping and tax purposes. Use this date when reporting for taxes, as it indicates the correct tax period.
For example, you worked a shift on the 20th of October. Your checkout is accepted and your invoice is created on the 22nd of October, and the date on the invoice is the 24th of October. For tax purposes, October 24th is the date that matters.
Did you choose direct payment for your shift?
If you chose direct payment for your shift, be aware that the total shown on your sales invoice (including VAT) isn’t exactly what you’ll receive in your account. The factoring fee still needs to be deducted for which you’ll receive a separate invoice: the purchase invoice (reference number starting with an F).
Your total earnings via Temper are basically your sales invoice (M) minus your purchase invoice (F). You can find this calculation in your transaction statement (document with reference number starting with a T). Check out this article for more information:
