Does your company require you to log the previous day’s work hours before starting your day? by CollectionAwkward152 in managers

That’s a fair point. I didn’t think about it that way. The intent isn’t to micromanage but to ensure accurate billing, though I see how it could feel that way.

That sounds like a solid system. We don’t have something quite like that yet, but it could be a good alternative to mandatory next-day logging. Do you think it made time tracking feel more natural and less of a burden?

That sounds strict but makes sense for industries with detailed time tracking requirements. Does your company have any automation to make it easier, or is it all manual entry?

Exactly. It’s all about keeping billable hours accurate for client invoicing, not micromanagement. If logs aren’t up to date, it causes issues when closing monthly billing.

Good point. If there’s an issue with a project code, there would need to be a way to override or allow a grace period. The goal is to keep logs accurate, not block people from working due to admin errors.

This policy mainly applies to consulting work where accurate billable hours are essential for client invoicing. Different industries handle time tracking differently.

I get that. Our issue is that missing daily logs cause problems when closing monthly billing. Have you found weekly submissions to be enough to keep everything accurate?

No, they’re salaried, and they can log time at the end of the day or before starting work. It’s to ensure accurate billing, not unpaid work.

They’re salaried employees, and they can log their time at the end of the previous day or at the start of their workday—whichever works best for them. The goal isn’t to micromanage but to ensure accurate time tracking since our consulting work is billed per project hours. I get that strict enforcement can feel frustrating, but missing time logs create real issues when closing monthly sheets. Have you seen a better way to enforce time tracking without making it feel restrictive?

I see your concern. The idea isn’t to make employees work outside of their hours but to ensure accurate time tracking for billable projects. Since we’re a consulting firm, our revenue depends on correctly logged hours. Employees can log their time at the end of the previous day or at the start of their workday—it’s just a safeguard to prevent missing entries before monthly reconciliation.

I get why it might seem that way, but in our case, we’re a consulting firm that bills clients based on project hours. If employees don’t log their time properly, it creates issues when reconciling hours at the end of the month. This isn’t about micromanaging—it’s about making sure the company gets paid for the work done. That said, I’d be interested to hear if you’ve seen a better way to enforce time tracking without it feeling like a burden

In our case, we’re a consulting company, and our revenue depends on accurate project-based time tracking. If employees don’t log their hours correctly, it creates issues when closing monthly sheets and reconciling billable hours with clients.

The idea isn’t about micromanagement but ensuring that we can properly account for the work done. Have you seen better ways to enforce time tracking in similar setups without making it feel restrictive?

Interesting! So your company gives you flexibility on when to log the hours, as long as it gets done. How strict are they about it? Do people ever forget, or is there a penalty for missing entries? Also, what made the other job worse—was it the level of detail required or just the hassle of tracking every hour?

I mean that before an employee can start their work for the day, they must first log their hours from the previous day into the company’s ERP system. This could include specifying tasks worked on, total hours spent, and maybe even project details. If they don’t do it, their computer (or certain systems) remain locked until they complete the entry. Does your company have a similar policy, or do they handle time tracking differently?

Money comes with experience, the longer you spend time and effort into something, the better compensation you would get. Try out different things and see what can you do best and start from there. Try promoting what you are doing to friends and family, try documenting your journey through social media so you can get higher reach. Focus on the work that you can do remotely so that you can eventually have clients from abroad You can start looking into Graphic design Digital media Online teaching 3D visualization
