Frequently Asked Questions
How does time tracking help with client billing disputes?
Detailed time logs with timestamps, task descriptions, and service categories provide transparent documentation for every billable hour. When clients question invoices, you can instantly show exactly what work was performed and when, reducing disputes and building trust.
Can we track time for retainer vs project-based clients differently?
Yes, you can set up different billing rules for retainer clients (monthly hour allocations) versus project-based clients (fixed scope tracking). The system automatically alerts you when retainer hours are running low or when project time exceeds budgets.
How do we handle time tracking for remote team members?
Cloud-based time tracking works seamlessly for distributed teams. Team members can track time from any device, and managers get real-time visibility into who's working on what. Mobile apps ensure time is captured even when team members are traveling or working from different locations.
What if team members forget to start or stop timers?
The system includes idle detection, manual time entry, and reminder notifications. You can also set up automatic timers that start when team members open specific project files or applications, ensuring no billable time is missed.
