Time Tracking Issues

A few suggested improvements to time tracking.

  • Employees should not be inputting their rates. A super admin should be the only one doing that.
  • Employee Rates. In the employee profile- there should be 1. their hourly rate, 2. their employee burden rate, 3. Their billable rate. Currently- my bookeeper and myself have to go in and update every single time entry to the employee burden rate for budgeting. But on jobs that are T+M- we have to change the time entry to the ‘billable rate for billing. It’s very time consuming and not efficient. I end up budgeting in an excel spreadsheet because of this.
  • Employee should not be marking. if something is taxable or billable. That should not even show up.
  • We have cost codes to track expenses and time. Yet- when employees log their time- they are still asking for a ‘service’. I had an employee log time as babysitting. So now I have babysitting as a service in quickbooks.

Hi There! Thank you so much for the feedback. We highly value information like this from our Pros. I’m happy to say that we have a full revamp of our time entry system that is launching very soon. The team has put a lot of time & effort into this and I think the changes will fit into what you’re looking for. I will pass your feedback on to the product team though and let you know what they say.

Thank you!

Yes!! I have also put in tickets about this. I also don’t like that it does not show clock in and clock out times. If the employee made a mistake on clocking in or out, I want the ability to adjust the time of the clock in or out not the overall hours. I do still want it to show the total amount of time because that is useful, but I need an actual clock on there as well.
