Security Billing Models: Hourly Guards vs Shift Coverage

Security services are typically billed in a few standard ways.

1) Hourly guard coverage
Most common for on-site guards and flexible schedules.

2) Shift-based pricing
Common for overnight coverage or fixed posts (e.g., 8-hour/12-hour shifts).

3) Event security
Often billed as a package rate with staffing assumptions.

Using “Service dates” and “Shift schedule” fields helps clients validate coverage quickly and approve invoices faster.

Service Location, Post Assignments, and Access Control

Security clients often manage multiple sites and posts.

Best practices
  • Use a clear service location field for the site
  • Include post type (event vs ongoing site vs patrol)
  • Add access control or gate coverage as separate line items when required
Clear post documentation reduces disputes over staffing and coverage expectations.

Incident Logs and Security Reporting

Some security engagements include reporting or logs.

Common reporting
  • Incident logs
  • Daily activity reports
  • Shift summaries
If reporting is part of your agreement, itemizing it as a line item can help demonstrate value and reduce back-and-forth about what was delivered.
