You might notice two invoices in your Bookings section — one for hours worked and one for a service charge. Here’s why.
The Short Answer
The hourly rate you see on our platform (e.g., £25.60/hour) is the total you pay. There are no hidden fees.
Why Two Invoices?
For legal and accounting clarity, we separate the charges:
Locum’s invoice – Payment for hours worked, paid directly to the self-employed locum (e.g., £22/hour)
Airlocum’s invoice – Our service fee (including VAT) for using the platform (e.g., £3.60/hour)
Total: £22.00 + £3.60 = £25.60/hour — exactly what was shown before you booked.
Why This Matters
This split confirms:
Locums are independent freelancers providing services directly to you
Airlocum simply facilitates the connection
Both parties remain compliant with legal and tax requirements
✅ Bottom line: You’ll always pay exactly the rate you saw when booking. The invoices are just separated for transparency and compliance.
