How do I track unbillable employee time for payroll?
Using Buildwise to track all of your employee's time is simple and easy. This article will cover how to set up your Buildwise account to be able to track non-project related time your employees will track in Buildwise so you have accurate payroll numbers.
Unbillable Non-Project Related Time
In order to track unbillable time that your employees log so that you have accurate payroll hours, you’ll want to set up two things:
- A project titled “Your Company Name.”
- A cost group titled “Unbillable Time” in the company settings.
- Inside of this cost group, you can add cost items such as:
- Vacation time
- Paid time off (PTO)
- Training
When your employees are recording non-project related time, they will use this cost group or a specific cost item you’ve created.
Unbillable Project-Related Time
Keep in mind that this is not to be used for project-related time that is unbillable because it’s something you aren’t charging a client for.
If you have project related time that you are not billing a client for, make sure to use the unbillable checkbox on the expenses tab instead of selecting the unbillable cost group.
Filtering Non-Project Related Time
Currently the system will include all projects and cost groups when looking at the global financial reports unless you filter for specific projects and/or cost groups.
When viewing any of the global reports or the financial dashboard, select all construction projects and do not select the "Your Company Name" project.
This will display the financial information without the unbillable employee time.
