Check a month is complete before you invoice

A working day with no time logged at all is the thing that actually costs you at invoicing time, so it is the loudest state and the first number on the page. Days that have not happened yet are never counted as missing.

Time still sitting in draft or submitted has not been signed off by anyone, so it is not safe to bill. The figure links straight to those entries, and the Approvals queue is where you clear them.

An entry written well before the work finished, logged days afterwards, or brought in by an import is flagged for a look. A flag is an observation, not an accusation: plenty of them turn out to be perfectly fine.

Each working day is measured against a work target you set under Settings, Organization, Time and scheduling. Set how many hours a day counts as a full one, or how many hours a month, or both. Somebody on a different schedule can have their own, and a target can change from a date, so a month is judged against whatever was expected at the time.

If no target covers a day, your business hours answer instead. Which days count as working days follows your week start. The page always says which basis it used.

A weekend is never called missing, but if someone logged time on one it appears exactly like any other day. Not expected is not the same as hidden.

A day is only called long when it runs well past what that person was expected to work, so a shorter working day is judged on its own terms rather than against somebody else’s.

If you hold Approve team time, Acknowledge marks flagged entries as seen. They stop warning you, including on the invoice they end up on. Undo sits next to it and takes the stamp back, so a judgment made in error is not permanent.

Every square in the strip opens that person’s entries for that day, so a number on this page is never a dead end.
