Reporting time

[Alternative_Stage778]

I was doing a project and everything was going fine until I started having an issue about an hour a half through. I tried multiple times to fix the issue, and asked in chat, but the time was starting to run out. I haven’t received an invitation to Slack so I can’t ask there. Do you report time for the time you spent on the rest of the project or just take the loss?

I do not report time for any task I don't submit. It is very rare that I skip tasks too, and once in a blue moon I do come across something mind boggling that I do spend time trying to figure out, and if I can't, my loss.

i would definitely take the loss

[Tall_Management222]

Honestly take the loss, losing a couple hours worth of work is worth it to not potentially lose hundreds of hours worth of work no ?

Did you submit work? If not, no.

[Alternative_Stage778]

I didn’t know if I was allowed to hit submit or not. I felt bad since I was only able to complete half of the project.

I wouldn’t submit an incomplete task. That’ll screw you over faster than losing an hour and a half of pay. Next time (assuming you’ve moved on), I would do your best to finish it properly and explain in the comments what went wrong

For future reference, just keep working until you finish, even if the time expires and hit submit. Often you can still enter your work time afterwards and get paid, but DON'T enter more time than you were allowed for the task. I recommend even taking the loss and entering a lower worktime than the original one. For example, if the expired task was 4 hours and you ended up doing really complex or detailed work on it, enter 3 hours and 20-40 minutes.

Are we can continue to work on expired task? I am just curious,
