In addition to hours, you can track project time on your timesheet. Knowing where you spend your time is a powerful tool to understand how long projects take and where you can optimize for the future. If you have clients that you need to charge for their services and have been doing this by hand in spreadsheets, it is time to stop. We have a report that shows you the billable and non-billable hours for each client that you can send over to accounting or the client.

Please note you cannot clock in if you have a future manual entry. For example, if you manually enter time for this afternoon but used the time clock this morning, you will need to wait to put a manual time entry this afternoon until after you clock out this morning. This action prevents manual time entries from overlapping with the time clock.

After the approval of your hours, you will no longer be able to make changes.
If a time entry covers two workdays, it automatically records the time entry at midnight (your timezone). The record will show a clock-out at 12:00 a.m. and a clock-in at 12:00 a.m.

There is no limit on the number of time entries per day.

The notification will show if your clock-in time was the previous calendar day or earlier and the clock-in time was over 14 hours ago. Your options for clocking out will depend on the access you have to your timesheet.
