What Does "Years of Experience" Mean for a Timekeeper in Brightflag?

Brightflag has introduced an exciting new feature that enhances your timekeeper rate submissions by allowing you to include Years of Experience for each timekeeper. This additional data helps improve reporting and provides your clients with more comprehensive insights into the experience levels of the professionals working on their matters.

How to Use the "Years of Experience" Feature

1. Download the Updated Spreadsheet Template

To use this new feature, you'll need the updated spreadsheet template for bulk timekeeper rate submissions. This template can be downloaded directly from the Brightflag app. It includes a dedicated column for Years of Experience to ensure seamless integration of this information into your submissions.

2. Adding Years of Experience

Once you have the updated template, follow these steps:

• Input Experience Data: In the 'Years of Experience' column, input the relevant data for each timekeeper as a numerical figure. For example, if a timekeeper has 10 years of experience, enter "10" in the corresponding field.
• Submit the Updated Template: After entering the necessary data, complete and upload the spreadsheet. This extra detail will enhance the accuracy of your timekeeper submissions.

Client Customization: Mandatory "Years of Experience" Field

Clients now have the option to make the Years of Experience field a required part of the timekeeper rate submission process. If a client has made this field mandatory, it will be marked as (Required) in the spreadsheet template. Be sure to check your client's specific requirements before submitting your timekeeper data to ensure compliance with their billing guidelines.

Benefits of Including "Years of Experience" in Timekeeper Rate Submissions

Adding Years of Experience to your timekeeper rate submissions provides several advantages for both your firm and your clients:

• Enhanced Reporting: Including this information allows clients to analyze timekeeper rates with greater detail, helping them assess the cost-effectiveness of the legal services provided.
