Hourly Work Logs

Short Description

Hourly work logs are for jobs where payment or cost depends on time. Instead of keeping hours in a notebook or chat thread, the project keeps each work period with start time, end time, break minutes, and hourly rate.

This gives the foreman a practical record of labor cost inside the project. It also helps compare planned work with actual time spent.

Use fixed tasks for scope-based work and hourly logs for time-based work. Keeping the two separate makes project cost review clearer.

Quick Guide

1. Go to Projects.
2. Open the required project.
3. Select Work.
4. Open Hourly.
5. Enter start time and end time.
6. Add break minutes and hourly rate.
7. Save the work log.

Practical Use Case

A crew works half a day on demolition. The foreman records the time range, break, and hourly rate so the labor cost is included in the project finance view.

Pro Tip

Record hours at the end of the workday while details are still fresh. Delayed time entries are usually less accurate.
