Instructions for Calculating an Invoice for Institutional/Agency Membership Payment
1. Complete information for the Institution / Agency that is paying the invoice. Contact information and email should be whoever is authorizing the invoice. 2. First select a Lab Size or Open Flex Enrollment option. Note: Open Flex Enrollment is simpler and provides maximum support to AAVLD operations. 3. Next list the employees that you intend to enroll.
4. Formula for calculating payment to AAVLD:
a. Lab Size Method: Lab Fee + Sum of Membership Fees for those enrolled – Credit = $ Amount Invoiced
b. Open Flex Enrollment Method: Sum of Membership Fees for those enrolled + $500 (base fee) = $ Amount Invoiced
5. Examples: *all residual stays with AAVLD to benefit operations for CE and training.
a. Lab Size Method: A Medium Sized lab chooses to enroll 5 faculty/professional staff $250 each and 4 technical staff @$100 each.
*To determine invoice: $1500 (medium lab rate) + $1650 (fee for those enrolled) $1200 (credit) = $1,950 (amount invoiced)
b. Lab Size Method: A Small Sized lab chooses to enroll 2 faculty/professional staff @ $250 each and 1 technical staff @$100 each.
*To determine invoice: $1000 (small lab rate) + $ 600 (fee for those enrolled) - $800 (credit) = $800 (amount invoiced)
c. Open Flex Enrollment Method: A lab of any size chooses to enroll 8 faculty/professional staff @ $250 each, 5 technical staff @ $100 each, 3 Graduate Students and 2 Residents @ $25 each.
*To determine invoice: $2,625 (fee for those enrolled) + $500 (base fee) = $3,125 (amount invoiced)
d. Example of Lab not authorized to enroll employees: A medium sized lab enrolls no employees.
*To determine invoice: $1500 (medium lab rate) + $ 0 (fee for those enrolled) - $1200 (credit) = $300 (amount invoiced)
