Record time
With the timer or manually, e.g. 1:30, with the type of activity, a description and, when needed, the proceeding. The rate is saved together with the entry.
The rate from the moment of saving: a later change does not alter entries.
HOW IT WORKS
Team time from timer to invoice.
When time is noted on paper and in spreadsheets, some hours never reach the invoice, and the rate and approval depend on memory.
CHALLENGEWORKFLOWRESULT
Approve or write off
An entry is approved by the matter’s lead lawyer or a person with finance editing rights, never by its author. Time you do not invoice is not deleted: you write it off and give a reason.
Nobody approves their own time.Bill to a draft invoice
According to the matter’s billing method: hourly, flat fee or a retainer with hours included; overage at the matter’s hourly rate.
Written-off time stays in the records but never reaches an invoice.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
Every entry has the rate from the moment it was saved, approval by another person and a clear status: from “awaiting approval” to “billed”.
A legal adviser starts the timer before a call with a client and stops it after one hour and seven minutes; with 6-minute rounding the entry is 1:12. The lead lawyer approves the time, and at the end of the month the “Bill time” action creates a draft invoice.
- Timer with the firm’s rounding: 1, 6, 10 or 15 minutes
- Rate stored with the entry: the matter’s or the person’s
- Approved by the lead lawyer or finance, never by the entry’s author
- Hourly, flat fee or a retainer with hours included
