Job estimates are an option that allow you to get an estimate of what a job will cost from your Coordinator or Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) partners. There are three different situations to consider, and it's recommended that you discuss the option you prefer with your partner(s) so they know your preference prior to them creating jobs for your organization.

You don't feel the need to obtain a job estimate

In this case, the Coordinator and/or LEA sets up and staffs jobs per your requirements and you won't receive an estimate. In the RollKall application, on the Jobs page, you can skip the Need Approval tab, as it will always be empty. You do not need to do anything further or perform the procedure below.

You would like to see a job estimate, but don't require approval in order for the job to be staffed

In this case, the Coordinator and/or LEA sets up and staffs jobs per your requirements and you will receive an email that contains the estimate for informational purposes. In the RollKall application, on the Jobs page, you can skip the Need Approval tab, as it will always be empty. You do not need to do anything further or perform the procedure below.

You want to review and approve job estimates prior to the job being staffed

In this case, the Coordinator and/or LEA sets up the job in RollKall per your requirements and you will need to approve the job estimate in the Jobs area of the application prior to the job being staffed. You may also need to prepay the invoice. Continue to the procedure below.

Manage Job Estimates

1. After logging into RollKall, click Jobs in the upper nav bar.
2. Click the Need Approval tab.
3. Click a job in the list to open its details for review.
   Upon review, click either Approve or Decline as appropriate in the bottom right corner. Or, if this is a prepay job, click either Pay for Job or Decline. 
   If you chose to Approve, the Coordinator or LEA will staff the job, and the job will move over to the Active tab on the Jobs page. If you chose to decline, the job will remain unstaffed. If this job requires prepayment and you chose Pay for Job, your payment information will display so you can click Pay Now so the job will be staffed.
