IMPORTANT INVOICING REQUIREMENTS

INVOICE REQUIREMENTS:

• All invoices must include a clear breakdown showing # techs, hourly rate, labor, materials, freight and sales tax, if applicable. “Lump Sum” or “As Quoted” invoices will immediately be rejected. This is a tax authority requirement and must be strictly adhered to.
• Boss Facility Services (BOSS) is not exempt from sales tax. Unless you are provided with a Resale Certificate by BOSS for a specific state, you must include sales tax as required by the local tax regulations. BOSS is a facility service management company NOT a general contractor. Please consult your CPA if you are unsure if your services are taxable.
• All sign off documents must be submitted within seven (7) business days of the work completion date to ensure we are able to consistently meet the clients’ deadlines. Please contact billingsupport@bossfacilityservices.com to request an extension. The last thing anyone wants is to lose payment for all our hard work because we missed a deadline.
• Submit only one invoice per work order. Our system will not accommodate progress billings.
• All billing documents must be uploaded to our vendor portal at https://www.bossfacilityservices.com.

SIGN OFF REQUIREMENTS: Uploading your documents to the portal now circumvents the need to add a work order number to every submitted document. The portal will assign a number that correlates to the information you enter on the portal and push that into the document queue.

• You are provided with a Boss UPC encoded sheet with every work order. The information on the form is important to ensuring your call is billed properly. If your field techs use a company/electronic sign off document, please have your office submit the Boss UPC sign off sheet AND your company sign off together with the invoice.
• If the client you are servicing requires you call in/out on their IVR system, it will be noted on the work order and you MUST do so. To avoid rejections, your sign off sheet in/out time must agree to the IVR in/out times. Some clients reject any invoices when vendors fail to IVR and/or the sign off times don’t agree to the IVR time. If the tech is unable to access the IVR system, it’s important to note it on the sign off and have the site manager sign off on it.
• Please be sure to note every site visit, whether you charge for the time or not. Your sign off sheets are the equivalent of a “job book” and are considered legal documents in the event of an insurance/legal claim.

OTHER NOTEWORTHY REQUIREMENTS:

• We cannot issue any payments unless we have a valid W9 on file.
• You must have a valid insurance certificate on file covering the service dates. If we don’t have a valid certificate when payment is issued you will be back charged 20% for Workers Compensation and/or 10% for General Liability.
• We make every attempt to contact you at least one week before the scheduled payment date to give you an opportunity to submit a certificate. Once the check is cut, you will not be reimbursed.

Note: All compliance documents should be submitted to vendorcompliance@bossfacilityservices.com or directly through the vendor portal.

If you have questions pertaining to the information outlined above, please contact Vendor Compliance @ vendorcompliance@bossfacilityservices.com.
