Default Time tracker
Hi
Not sure where to post this as I am sure there is a thread on it somewhere I just havent found it yet. Does anyone have a template or know where I can get one for time tracking? I have to provide my time spent on a monthly basis and would like something professional and that people find has worked well - since it is my first job!

I use Paymo for tracking time on the work I do for my clients. It generates a PDF that I can email the client that shows my notes on what I was working on and what all was involved in completing the jobs. I have found it so useful. Plus, my client is blind, and she able to read the document which helps a lot and I do not have to explain over and over again what it was we did for that week. I update her weekly since it is easier for her to read a weekly review rather than a monthly review. Every client will be different and that is what makes Paymo a great tool for me.

I am glad you found something that works for you

Andrea~

Adavant, that looks interesting. I might give it a go.
Andrea, I've heard lots on VA's talk about Paymo so I think it's quite popular in our industry. They also have a freebie account I believe.

Originally developed for an employer to determine payroll, timesheets are not just for payroll any more. Timesheets may record the start and end time of tasks, or just the duration. It may contain a detailed breakdown of tasks accomplished throughout the project or program. This information may be used for payroll, client billing, and increasingly for project costing, estimation, tracking and management.
Some companies provide web-based timesheet software or services that provide a means to track time for payroll, billing and project management. One of the major uses of timesheets in a project management environment is comparing planned costs versus actual costs, as well as measuring employee performance, and identifying problematic tasks. This knowledge can drive corporate strategy as users stop performing or reassign unprofitable work.

There are many programs and sites to track your time. I found and love My Hours you can track your time, projects, by client, by task and more.

Just last week I found you can set-up a company and invite others to your company to include their time as well. I use it with my sub-contractors and not only get reports for clients but to analyze my business as well.
