Yea, I don't see many firms using this fee arrangement because it essentially charges the same hourly rate for all hours under the fee.

Another "problem" is that the number of hours value could hit in the middle of a slip.  Let's say you are charging $2,000 for the first 10 hours (essentially $200 per hour for the first ten hours.) Now let's say several users record 9.3 hours on the matter and here comes the slip that will finish off the ten hours, but the slip is for 1.6 hours.  This tends to be where the idea breaks down.  

Depending on how many slips you have over the minimum, you can mark those slips as Override on the Billing Status and those slips will be charged at their regular values and will not be considered part of the flat fee.
