Administrative Time Entries

The Administrative Time Entries allow you to create a set of non-chargeable work, which are used to record time that does not directly contribute to billable work. These entries help provide a more complete view of how time is spent across the working week.

Typical uses for Admin Log entries include:

  • Absences – such as annual leave, sick leave, public holidays, or other types of authorised time off.

  • Meetings – including internal team meetings, one-to-ones, company updates, or other collaborative sessions that aren't chargeable to a specific project.

  • Personal development – such as training courses, learning sessions, research time, or skills development activities.

To create it, you will need to create a new job for each chargeable job entry required,  ensuring the checkbox for Is Admin Job (or equivalent field) is checked (see Configuring Time Tracking App for more details).
