Staffing Agency Invoice Template
Bill rates by worker, regular and overtime hours, markup and placement fees. Free PDF.
Your client will check this invoice against their own timesheets, line by line. Every worker, week, hour and bill rate has to match what they approved. Overtime needs its own line. If you bill overtime rates for a week the client thought was straight time, the invoice gets held, and you find out weeks later.

How to invoice as a staffing agency
What to put on a staffing agency invoice
- Each worker's name and assignment, with the week-ending date
- Regular and overtime hours on separate lines, each at its own bill rate
- The bill rate itself: the client agreed to a rate, not a total
- The purchase order or requisition number, which most clients need before they can pay
- Direct placement or conversion fees, kept apart from hourly billing
- Approved expenses, if the assignment included travel or equipment
Questions
Should I show the markup?
Only if your agreement is written that way. Most clients sign up to a bill rate, not to pay plus a percentage. Show the markup and the conversation turns to your margin instead of the rate they already agreed.
How is overtime billed?
On its own line, with the hours, at the overtime bill rate. The client's timesheet splits hours the same way. If your invoice shows only total hours, their accounts team has to work out where the extra cost came from, and the invoice usually waits while they do.
When is a conversion fee due?
When the client hires your worker directly, on the terms in your agreement. It is often a percentage of first-year salary that shrinks with the hours already billed. Put it on its own line with the worker's name, because it is a one-off charge, not part of the weekly billing.
How often should I invoice a staffing client?
Weekly, on the same cycle as the timesheets. You pay your workers every week and get paid on net terms, so a monthly invoice stretches a gap you are already covering. Four small weekly invoices are also easier for the client to approve than one big one.
One invoice per client, or one per worker?
One per client per week, with each worker on a line. Separate invoices per worker mean separate approvals, since the client matches each one to the same purchase order. And a question about one worker then holds up a pile of invoices instead of one line.
Why would an invoice sit unpaid with no query raised on it?
Usually it is the purchase order number. Most client systems match an invoice to an open PO before anyone looks at it. If the number is missing, or the PO is closed, the invoice just stops there. Nobody rejects it, so nobody tells you.
What changes if the client bills through a VMS?
A vendor management system creates the payable from the hours it has already approved. Your invoice then becomes a record to reconcile against, not the thing that triggers payment. Send it anyway and keep your numbering continuous. If the system's total and yours disagree, the invoice next to the signed timesheets is what settles it.
The client approved only part of a timesheet. What should I bill?
Bill the approved hours now and the disputed ones later, once they are settled. Put both on one invoice and the undisputed money waits on the argument. Withdrawing and reissuing an invoice also restarts the dispute window, which runs from the date the client receives it.
Do expenses belong on the same invoice?
Yes, as separate lines, and only where the assignment's agreement covers them: travel, equipment, a per diem. These are the lines clients question most, so name the worker and the assignment on each one. A single expenses total gives the client nothing to check against what they signed.
