Combining Slips and increasing rates

My paralegal has his own TS database at his home where he works. At the end of each month he takes his slips for my clients and turns them into a SARS (archive?) file and sends them to me. I use the Combine Slips feature to combine them with the slips I have created for that month. My paralegal enters the slips at his rates he charges me (say $100 for Client 1 and $125 for Client 2). I bill my clients for his work say $125 for Client 1 and $150 for Client 2.

Is there a way to automatically update ALL of the $100 per hour slips for Client 1 to $125 and all of the $125 slips for Client 2 to $150? Note that there may be 10 slips for each, so changing each slip is not my first choice. 

I was told to use the Auto Rate Rule in the Client's Name box Rate tab but that does not work.

Does anybody know how to do this?

    I would recommend that you search the Timeslips help for Slip Export (Mass Update).  Take your time the first time as it is easy to make an error here. Essentially, you open a slip from your paralegal and make the rate change on that slip and save it.  Now click the export button and identify the field you want to export and then the slips you want to apply the contents of that field to.  Good luck!

    The more I think about it, your assistant should record the slips at $125/150 in his system.  Then export them prior to billing so when they come into your system they are the correct value and unbilled.

    But in his system put in a -20% and -33% adjustment on the clients so that they bill out at $100 and $125 to you.

    Hope this helps.
