A time entry is one person, one project, one day, and a number of hours. There are two doors into the same record:
- Time Entries — the list in People Management: add a row per stint of work. By default the list shows your own time; people who approve or administer time see the whole company's.
- My Timesheet — a week grid for the employee your user is linked to (§8.4): one row per project, one column per day, Monday to Sunday, with Submit week at the end of it. For most staff this is the only door they ever use.
Each entry carries a billable flag — time spent on client work you will charge for, against time you will not — and a description, which is worth writing for the client's eyes: it travels into the billing invoice's narrative (§9.5, billing).
Two things are snapshotted onto the entry as it is saved, and never change underneath it afterwards:
- Its rates. The billing rate is resolved down a hierarchy — the project's hourly rate first, then the employee's billable rate, then the service product's price — and the cost rate is the employee's cost rate. Later changes to any of those masters apply to new entries only.
- Its overtime split — regular and overtime hours, calculated on save when the company's overtime is switched on (§9.5, overtime).
