How to make hours billable?
To mark hours as billable, you first need to activate the feature. To do so:
- In your dashboard, go to Settings > Features
- Turn on the toggle next to Billable Hours under Finance
Marking a project as billable
To mark hours as billable, you must first mark a project as billable. To do this for an existing project:
- Go to Projects > Projects
- Click the name of the project you want to edit or click the three-dot icon under Actions and click Edit
- In the Project Details tab, enable the Billable toggle
This will make all contracts within that project as billable, allowing you to set an hourly rate in Projects > Contracts. To learn more about contracts, check out our Contracts help article.
Note: apart from the Owner, setting a project as billable is only accessible to Executive Managers who have permission.
To grant this permission to an Executive member:
- Go to People > Members
- Click the three-dot icon under Actions and click Edit Details
- Click Billing and enable the Show hourly rate toggle
Three ways to set hourly rates
WebWork offers three ways to set hourly rates for your team. These are:
If both project and member hourly rates are available, you can choose which one to use for each contract on the Contracts page. Alternatively, you can also set a custom rate for each contract.
Viewing earned amounts
After enabling billable hours, WebWork will calculate earnings based on the set billable hourly rate and number of tracked hours. You can view this data in several places, like the Timesheet, Payroll, and Finance reports.
