Billing for time > About the time billing feature
Time billing is suitable for businesses that predominantly sell time—such as accountants and lawyers—and businesses that sell both time and items—such as interior designers and mechanics.An activity can be chargeable or non-chargeable. The ability to track non-chargeable activities can be useful if you want to record such costs as entertainment, which generally cannot be charged to the customer.Activities can be entered individually or grouped together on activity slips. You can then generate time billing invoices, ready to send to your customers. Any items that you have sold to your customers can also be included with the activities in a single time billing invoice.You can also record the hours an employee works on an activity when you create an activity slip, and then refer to these hours creating the employee's pay.Time billing reports can be filtered to give you just the information you want. These reports monitor how you and your staff spend your time and whether it is spent profitably.
