Frequently asked questions

Is this suitable for teams or just individuals?

For teams, create one copy per team member and use a summary sheet that pulls totals from each individual timesheet. This gives managers a consolidated view without everyone editing the same sheet.

Can I track non-billable time too?

Yes. The billable column lets you mark each entry as billable or non-billable. The summary calculates both totals so you can see your utilisation rate — billable hours as a percentage of total working time.

What if I work different hourly rates for different clients?

The rate configuration tab stores a different rate per client. The invoice value column multiplies each client’s hours by their specific rate automatically.
