päivälaskutus

Päivälaskutus, which translates to "daily invoicing" or "day billing" in English, is a payment method primarily used in certain service industries. It involves charging a customer for services rendered on a daily basis rather than per individual task or project. This approach is common in sectors such as construction, temporary staffing, and certain types of maintenance or repair services where the scope of work can fluctuate daily.

The core principle of päivälaskutus is that a predefined daily rate is applied for the duration of the service. This rate often covers labor, basic materials, or the use of equipment. Any additional costs, such as specialized materials or significant expenses beyond the daily scope, are typically itemized separately and added to the total invoice.

This method offers transparency for the client by providing a clear understanding of the daily expenditure. For the service provider, it simplifies the invoicing process, especially for ongoing or unpredictable projects, as it avoids the need for meticulous tracking and billing of every small component. However, it requires a clear agreement between the parties regarding what the daily rate includes and how any extra charges will be handled to prevent disputes. The specific terms and conditions of päivälaskutus are usually detailed in a service contract.
