FAQ

Timers vs manual entry—which first?

Support both. Knowledge workers prefer timers; shop-floor teams often need manual or kiosk entry.

How do I prevent editing after approval?

Lock approved entries and require a reopen request with audit logging for corrections.

Can this feed legal or agency billing?

Yes. Keep client, matter/project, and rate fields so invoicing can consume approved time.
