Adding an Hourly Rate Category


Time Tracking Categories are used to categorize tracked time. Categories are part of Time Tracking Pro (included on Grow and Plus, otherwise $10/month).

This is because you might pay different hourly rates for different types of work or breaks.

To view, edit, or add Time Tracking categories go to the Time Tracking Tab.

Once On the time Tracking tab, click the Categories Tab at the top.

To edit a category, click the pencil button. The built-in General Work, Lunch and Break categories can’t be edited or deleted, so they have no pencil or “x” button.
