What is being tested
Were breaks included or excluded according to the staffing agreement and accepted time record? The boundary for this investigation is temporary staffing break-time invoice rules. Begin with the disputed transaction or population, then identify which approved shift record establishes the observed position and which break-time clause supports the comparison. A difference in totals should not replace this question.
Evidence: approved shift record
For temporary staffing break-time invoice rules, approved shift record must be linked to break-time clause. Preserve the source owner, transaction reference, period and accepted version. Explain which field answers the financial question and which facts still require confirmation. Incomplete supporting records should create a named evidence gap rather than an assumed quantity, price or entitlement.
Evidence: break-time clause
For temporary staffing break-time invoice rules, break-time clause must be linked to agency rate schedule. Retain the applicable wording, effective dates and scope of covered transactions. Identify the event or population that controls the calculation. Do not silently replace a contractual definition with a dashboard label, customary practice or the latest published rule.
Evidence: agency rate schedule
For temporary staffing break-time invoice rules, agency rate schedule must be linked to staffing invoice. Keep the dated calculation basis, eligible units and any limits or exclusions. Record the sequence of conversion, threshold selection and rounding. An arithmetic result is only supportable after its inputs and applicable version are independently confirmed for the transaction being reviewed.
Evidence: staffing invoice
For temporary staffing break-time invoice rules, staffing invoice must be linked to approved shift record. Keep the issued document version and line-level quantity, currency and service period. A header total cannot establish which component is being tested. Retain later corrections as linked versions, so a replacement does not create a second liability.
Reconciliation logic
Compare paid service units with the documented break policy and any approved exceptions. Build the comparison at the level identified by approved shift record and retain the governing version from break-time clause. Show intermediate classifications and excluded items separately; a net total can hide an unsupported component or a correctly offset correction.
Exception conditions
Some contracts price the scheduled shift rather than worked minutes. Treat the item as an unresolved exception only when the comparison described here cannot be supported by the linked approved shift record, break-time clause, agency rate schedule, staffing invoice. Document the conflicting input or rule. A plausible operational explanation requires validation, but it should not be discarded to maximize an apparent financial difference.
Human review and outcome
The staffing owner validates shift acceptance without employee-sensitive details. Return a shift-unit reconciliation according to the agreed billing basis. Keep the reviewer's reason and source references with that disposition. A supported correction should be followed to the revised record or settlement; an accepted explanation can close the question with no adjustment. Missing authority or evidence should remain an open task rather than a confirmed recovery.
Limitations and processing boundary
A PO, acceptance record or supplier credit request alone cannot prove a complete recovery. The authoritative supplier, contract, PO, invoice and receipt processor is not complete. Treat commercial interpretation, authorized acceptance and final credit application as separate validation steps. In this scenario, absence of approved shift record or break-time clause limits whether the comparison can be completed. The review method describes what people should validate, not a promise that AuditRes automatically detects or executes this specific outcome.
